That is correct. This, and other compatibility factors, are likely to prevent this from ever getting back-ported to Tiger. Seeing as how Tiger was released in 2005 and, in April, will be 4 years old, I also don't think it's likely that anyone will see a big win on even spending time on the problem. Perhaps SnowLeopard will prove compelling enough to finally spend a little money on an upgrade. :-)

I think MacRuby depends on the GC in ObjC 2.0 which came with Leopard.

Dear MacRuby Gods,

I live in the cheap seats of life, and do not have the where-with- all to
get a Leopard machine.  Also, I know many *many* people in the same
situation. What would it take to downgrade / retrofit the stubs of this
project to something the venerable Tiger could gum down?

Also, if its a question of resources ... how much and who do I bribe?

Thanks,

G. Gibson
