I translated part of a project into Obj-C, and it just wasn't the same. I
*like* the Ruby language, and while MacRuby has its foibles, it's still very
good.
Here's my reasoning: Apple isn't going to do a consumer release of 10.9 any

IMHO MacRuby and now Rubymotion apps deployment is really reasy. To create a
release version of a .app in RubyMotion you just "rake release" and you're done.
For cross-platform development with Qt, Tk or wx, the situation in Python has
always been better than in Ruby. I don't know how we'll main

@John Labovitz,
you're able to run your ruby script in Rubymotion just like in Macruby, the
only thing you'll need to do is to replace *#!/usr/local/bin/macruby *with*
#!/Library/RubyMotion/bin/ruby *and you're ready to go.
cheers,

@John Labovitz, you should probably ask that in the Rubymotion mail list or in

Many of my personal MacRuby projects are somewhat peculiar in that they not
only avoid Xcode and Interface builder, they aren't even application bundles.
Instead, they're just Ruby files with an executable bit that I run from the
command line.

It's not so much the price, it's one more company that you're depending on -
you no longer really control your own destiny. What happens if HipByte decides
they are charging way too little, and they decide that it now will cost $5k to
continue using MacRuby? Or $10k?

Thanks, Mark!
Yeah, I know the price is more than reasonable, Mark, it's just that right now,
we're not in a position to afford much of anything. Without getting too
personal, we're still digging out from the Great Recession, which hit my family
pretty hard. (As they say in DC, "mistakes were m

@Shaun: I think RubyMotion 2 is that offering.
@Mark: Well said. I dabbled in MacRuby and thought it would be great if
'they' could get something going for IOS. MY first thought when RubyMotion
came out was I needed to buy a license to support HipByte, I have never
regretted this and bought my ext
I would like to see Laurent and Hipbyte offer a paid version of MacRuby with
the same pricing structure as RubyMotion. I'd buy it...

I'm a longtime RubyMotion user, and MacRuby user before that. I want to share

future.
The momentum around MacRuby has been inexistent for almost a year and a half.
That is, since Laurent Sansonetti (the original crea

Add me in as another questioner of MacRuby's future. (And thanks for bringing

The GC issue is the most obvious, but I've also noticed a distinct lack of

Hello all (and especially Carolyn),
I just want to say that I have the same question, specifically regarding the

The context in which this came up was very revealing. I had been developing a

tests.

Hi, I've got a question about the future of MacRuby. I like it, and have
started working on a project or two using it, but I've been reading about GC

quite concerned because I've put a good amount of time into my Mac
