If you would like layout of elements with in HTML style, that's pretty
much what Shoes (http://shoooes.net/) is. I had a discussion back in
September of implementing Shoes on-top-of or along-side HotCocoa (http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macruby-devel/2008-September/000508.html
), but there are problems with attempting to meld the two. For one
thing, there's the "instance_eval" issue. Still, I think it would be
useful to implement Shoes in MacRuby. I just haven't had time to give
this any serious work.
Cheers,
Josh

This sounds like an idea with potential.
Perhaps a new framework for creating "HTML" applications, that takes
the HTML and uses a WebView - but instead of actually ending up with
a WebView, the data is pulled out and passed onto a true Cocoa
interface, kinda thing?

It's possible to use HotCocoa to lay out windows, but (AFAIK)
the developer still has to do most of the layout, specifying
co-ordinates, etc.
Like lots of other Ruby developers, I'm comfortable with HTML
and CSS layout. So, I wonder how hard it would be to convince
WebApp (for example) to accept web layout commands and hand
back the resulting co-ordinates. Some kind of AJAX hack could
even be used, I suspect, to get dynamic JavaScript support.
I'd love to hear about any show-stoppers, other ideas, etc. I
would be even happier to get some implementation hints (:-).
