I guess my main angst is with the the direction and philosophy of the project. One vision of MacRuby has it being a fully compatible ruby implementation, that happens to be built on the Objective-C runtime and have good integration to all of the libraries provided by Apple, but wrap the guts so

The XCode integration is actually something that I find bothersome, especially the reliance upon nibs or whatever they are called. As an IDE goes XCode has never really been professional level, though I know that statement frustrates many it is very much true. As to nibs well the whole thing

Good questions. I'd certainly like to see Apple put its weight behind MacRuby and leave us with an official word of support. Like you I have a hard time putting much effort into something that is wishy washy in its relationship with Apple. I still use Python for most of my scripting needs

As someone who has been trying to help in my vanishing spare time, the actions of Apple with regard to MacRuby are very important to my motivation. No one outside of Apple can integrate it with XCode, or allow it on iOS devices. If these things don't happen, MacRuby will be much less than it c

Ha. I like that. It should be fun. MacRuby is fun. MacRuby is also not yet perfect. Whatever politics are happening inside Apple, we're not privy to them. I don't think anyone at Apple "hates" it, given that they've fixed major bugs relatively recently. Don't consider it a waste of time. You wi

Yeah, I figured as much and was able to fix it by making that change right after reporting the bug, but shouldn't we be able to some how make this camera resolution independent? I'm no expert on the AvCapture class, but AVCaptureSessionPresetHigh is another preset which at least does not hard-c
