I just discovered MacRuby / HotCocoa and really like the sound of what they're doing. I had essentially discounted the prospect of making Cocoa GUI applications myself because I have an aversion to spending time & effort learning yet another C-based language, Objective-C. I'm not saying it's bad, just not for me. Is it the case now, or...

Well, my fisrt question was a bit too general so i ll try again and hope this one is better. The way i see it is: Ruby->MacRuby or IronRuby or Rails Obj-c->Mac Development So Ruby has clearly more potential in desktop and web platforms and now with MacRuby, OSX native (and commercial) apps are on the way. If i get it wrong please correc...
I'm still trying to get a handle on Cocoa (both in Obj-C and MacRuby), and I'd really appreciate seeing how to download a file with ASIHTTPRequest (or without it) and MacRuby. Ideally, I'd like to be able show the progress inside a progress bar too. Must use a cocoa method for downloading, since open-uri in MacRuby is borken. Thanks fo...

I want to create a binary executable for a relatively simple script that would not require people to install macruby or HotCocoa. The script is here.

I'm attempting to follow this tutorial 'Demystifying Mail.app Plugins on Leopard' to build a Mail.app plugin. Instead of using PyObjC I'm trying to use MacRuby.

I want to dive into developing applications for the Mac and later also for the iPhone. For me as a Rubyist it is clear that I learn both, MacRuby and Objective-C. The question is only in which order I should do that. Is it easier to learn Objective-C first and then combine the knowledge of both worlds and start learning MacRuby, or is it...

I'm writing an OS X Service with MacRuby. It upcases the selected text.

For Web Applications I use Ruby on Rails. And now it's time to see if I can code Desktop Applications with Ruby. So I wonder which one I should choose. The way I see it is MacRuby+IronRuby vs JRuby. The former lets me have desktop applications for both Mac and Windows while the latter lets be have in both, but only learning one tool. ...

I want to override initWithContentRect on a subclassed NSWindow, as I've seen done in Obj-C, in order to create a borderless window from a nib. If I try this: class GroupWindow < NSWindow def initWithContentRect(contentRect, styleMask:windowStyle, backing:bufferingType, defer:deferCreation) super.initWithContentRect( conten...
