Hi Laurent,

Theoretically speaking. If, as you say, "write an alternative (simple) GC based on the retain/release/autorelease model, so that MacRuby can run within a process that does not support the ObjC GC."

Does that open the gateway to iPhone development??

Hey folks,
I was curious about framework compatibility with MacRuby, from what I've tried so far and seen on other people's blog posts only frameworks built
against the 32/64 bit Universal Architecture (with gc support) are
compatible with MacRuby is that pretty much the restriction?

Thanks!

ps. I am really really loving MacRuby

Paul

Yes.

The "gc support" one might be dropped in the near future, though. I
plan to write an alternative (simple) GC based on the retain/release/
autorelease model, so that MacRuby can run within a process that does
not support the ObjC GC.

Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words!
