I use #init whenever I’m dealing with Cocoa(-like) classes and #initialize when
it's pure Ruby. I do the same with regards to camel and snake casing. Also note
that #init is not supposed to take arguments, whereas #initialize may
definitely do so.
Any classes that inherit from NSObject directly will have #initialize called if
#init is called on them:
% cat t.rb
class PureRubyClass
def initialize
puts "here!"
end
end
PureRubyClass.alloc.init
% macruby t.rb
here!
