Just wanted to add a ditto to this - I'm looking at migrating some old AppleScript Studio projects to MacRuby - my initial testing about a year ago was great, but it seems the stability of MacRuby as a development platform is in question to me at least... I've already been abandoned by AppleScript Studio, don't really want to have to go through relearning a new language and migrating projects a third time.
I'm seeing a few comments on RubyMotion - does that work for developing OS X projects as well? I was under the impression that was for iOS only, but I can't say I've looked into it much.
