Thanks for this, I will definitely find it helpful. I must confess that I have a tormented relationship with MacRuby. I am a Pythonista and have found it extremely hard to move to the Ruby world. My major issue with the language is the irb shell. I definitely do not want to start a flame war, but I find it vastly inferior to iPython, especially iPython's newer releases. Second, it frequently crashes when I do anything wrong syntactically. I do appreciate MacRuby being a better accessor to Cocoa but in general don't think it is quite ready. Instead I prototype my code in PyObjC and then implement it in Obj-C.
