Not entirely specific to targeting the mac app store, but a minor caveat
for anybody very new to MacRuby -- debugging full-fledged gui MacRuby apps
can be challenging due to the lack of breakpoint/stepping/etc support in
XCode. see also

per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AirPlay and from my own time spent on some
reverse-engineering of AirPlay slideshows, videos, and music -- afaict
nobody is quite sure how the custom view mirroring protocol works just yet.
a good reference to get started playing with airplay in ruby is

you are right, of course -- these two issues are orthogonal, I simply never
pass up a chance to rant about lack of debug support on the off chance that
everybody will up-vote this issue and we'll see it get fixed before another
5 years pass.
if you implement your suggestion, i will certainly try it
this would certainly be useful, but frankly i think that having proper
debugger-integration support in xcode (see
http://www.macruby.org/trac/ticket/1208 and issue 3037631 in
http://bugreporter.apple.com) would go dramatically farther towards making
macruby useful. edit-and-continue would be great,
having great fun with macruby and planning on building a lot of apps with it
-- thanks to everybody who has contributed to bringing my favorite language
to macs :)
that said, i see in http://www.macruby.org/trac/ticket/1208 and have now
suffered through with experience that proper debugger support
am i understanding the option being described here as manually forcing a
pre-compile of .rb gems to .rbo cached to the gems directory (with caveats
like no backtrace, ymmv)?
anybody working on a generic (system-wide or per-user or configurable?)
cache of arbitrary .rb -> .rbo similar to how rubyin
