Rubyists! I'd love to help out with a new macruby website. I'm forking/pulling the linked github. Regarding content, perhaps there is a place for the macruby Recipes i've been kicking out on a new site?
I'm also going to take a shot at the installer here in a minute, and the sublime text2 bundle (but thats a stretch goal for me, I don't know python yet) -Pkj On Feb 18, 2012, at 3:54 AM, Matt Aimonetti wrote: > Hey guys, > > A few of you asked me privately and publicly what was going on with MacRuby > releases and what was the plan now that Apple clearly said that ARC is the > future and that the GC will be deprecated in MountainLion. > > First off, I want to emphasis that even though ARC is the future for iOS and > OS X, the GC won't go away anytime soon.
