Not trying to be a downer, because I really like the idea of it being
more accessible, but:
Looks like no recent activity on PureFoundation:
https://code.google.com/p/purefoundation/
http://www.puredarwin.org/purefoundation
Some activity 3 months ago on opencflite, which there was claim that
PureFoundation might move to:
http://opencflite.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/opencflite/
I don't get the feeling that these projects are active enough and have
enough behind them to get distracted from focusing on OS X, but maybe
their developers are just not committing code frequently?
MacRuby on iOS would be neat, but from what I've read on the list, it
isn't happening anytime soon.
Personally, I'm still hoping that someone picks up HotCocoa, but from
what I hear, the guys need to stayed focus on OS X, until more
developers start helping out.
I noticed a few projects for Posix and Ruby and CFLite and Ruby, if you
google for it. Might not be what people need, but worth mentioning.

Hi,
First of all I think MacRuby is amazing project, and one and only Ruby
runtime/compiler (macrubyc) that is able to produce standalone self-contained
binaries. Since I have used Ruby heavily to produce server-side applications
rather than Cocoa based application and I am iPhone developer as well, I wish
to ask if and what are the plans for extending MacRuby to other platforms like:
(1) iOS - here I know the basic problem is lack of Obj-C GC. I've seen some
post you're working on it, any clues about that?
(2) any UNIX (POSIX) platforms (Linux servers) - most of tech MacRuby relays on
is OpenSource including LLVM, Obj-C runtime... most except Foundation framework
is closed-source and exists only on OSX, however there's CFLite and there were
couple of tries to port Foundation to generic UNIX (POSIX), one of them is
PureFoundation.
Do you guys considered stripped down MacRuby version for any POSIX OS where
Array, String and some core classes use some alternative implementation of
Foundation or Foundation-free implementation?
