In my understanding, HotCocoa is not only useful for UI programming, although it's true that those classes often need a lot of configuration and so benefit a lot from a wrapper. I think possible problems inherent in the approach might be a certain arbitrariness when defining defaults, and the conti

I asked Rich Kilmer about HotCocoa when we met at GoGaRuCo last month. He indicated that he's still interested in it, but is (IIRC) thinking about some different implementation strategies and waiting for MacRuby to settle down a bit. HotCocoa makes Cocoa look a lot more like the Ruby I know and lo

Thank you for the answer, I feel a bit disappointed though... I loved the simplicity of Hotcocoa. Is there any other library/layer on top of Macruby that helps simplifying the creation of UI? Michael On Sat, Oct 2, 2010 at 3:14 AM, Felix Holmgren wrote: > Ok, interesting to hear at least that i

Hello I just discovered Macruby and Hotcocoa, and I must say that I'm very excited about it. Hotcocoa is nothing short of amazing and I love the ease with which you can build a Mac application using Ruby. The only problem I have though, is that I didn't find a real documentation showing hotcocoa
