Welcome! Hope you enjoy your stay!
You can write Obj-C-ish methods in MacRuby the same way you call them: using
Ruby's hash syntax. The only other caveat is the difference between "super" in
Ruby and Obj-C. In Obj-C, "super" is the superclass. In Ruby, it is shorthand
for calling the same method in the superclass. Also, in Ruby, you are not
allowed to redefine self. Finally, you generally don't need to worry about weak
references in Ruby (since cycles can be handled by the GC). So your above
method translated would look like this:
def initWithFrame(frame, controller: ctrlr)
initWithFrame(frame)
@controller = ctrlr
self
end
Cheers,
Josh
