Generally when you are creating a Cocoa application with Ruby, you'll
want to use frameworks that use Cocoa idioms.
This holds especially true for async operations, such as working with
sockets.
So in this case I take would look at http://code.google.com/p/cocoaasyncsocket/
This is used by, for instance, LimeChat (A RubyCocoa & MacRuby
application).
But note that even with this framework, you might encounter MacRuby
problems.
This is the other side of using young technologies.
If you can't deal with that right now, but would like to use Ruby, I
would encourage you to take a look at RubyCocoa.
Cheers,

Thanks a bunch, but I believe I'm going to have to switch frameworks/
libraries. I believe I just read that opening TCPSockets causes
errors in MacRuby..

textView seems rather tedious compared to textField to me.
Here is what I do (which does work when the view is made not
editable):
class Controller
attr_writer :text_view #linked to the IB textView on your window
def awakeFromNib
replace_all_range = NSRange.new(0, @text_view.textStorage.length)
@text_view.replaceCharactersInRange(replace_all_range,
withString:"a new string")
end
end
I saw this originally when learning Ruby / Cocoa in Brian Marick's
RubyCocoa book - which is available at the moment as a PDF (it has
not been released yet to paper I believe) from the Pragmatic
Programmers.
Both Marick's and Hillegas's books are important reads for the
beginning (eg me) macruby programmer.

How about @text_view.setString("foo") or as @text_view.string =

Y'know what, that doesn't seem to work actually. No '<<' method,
and setCharacters/setWords works, but nothing shows up.

Now the purpose of this view is to work as the display for text
coming from a MUD (Multi-user domain/dungeon). I have it set to
noneditable but selectable. My above code doesn't work. I allow it
to be editable, and the code does work. Is there a way to prevent
user-editing but to allow my code to edit it?
Extract from Apple's Objective-C insertText: documentation:
This method is the entry point for inserting text typed by the
user and is generally not suitable for other purposes.
Programmatic modification of the text is best done by operating on
the text storage directly. Because this method pertains to the
actions of the user, the text view must be editable for the
insertion to work.
You can do for instance
@text_view.textStorage << 'my text'
But be careful, text inserted like this ignores the current font
attributes of the text view. You have to add them yourself.
