From what I can make out threads such as NSThreads or NSOperations
are not supported by macruby yet.

I am wondering whether MacRuby 0.5 supports Cocoa threads? I have an
application which runs in the background and which displays
information in the system status bar (in a menu). It periodically
logs into a website, retrives information and sets that information in
the menu.
The problem is that if I run this loop in the awakeFromNib method it
occupies the current thread and the menu is unresponsive until that
method returns. I've tried creating Cocoa threads but my application
goes haywire (in XCode it enters the debugger and is otherwise
unresponsive).
What gives? Any idea how I can achieve what I want to do here? If
the answer is POSIX threads or something, can I call back to (mac)ruby
because that is where all my logic is?
Below is the code I've tried:
def awakeFromNib
print NSThread.isMultiThreaded() # prints true
self
.menu.performSelectorInBackground_withObject_(:loginAndWaitThread,
nil)
NSThread
.detachNewThreadSelector_toTarget_withObject_(:loginAndWaitThread,
self.menu, nil)
end
