Cocoa Framework compatibility
by Paul 10 Jun '09

10 Jun '09

Hey folks, I was curious about framework compatibility with MacRuby, from what I've tried so far and seen on other people's blog posts only frameworks built against the 32/64 bit Universal Architecture (with gc support) are compatible with MacRuby is that pretty much the restriction? Thanks! ps. I am really really loving MacRuby Paul

Hi Laurent, Theoretically speaking. If, as you say, "write an alternative (simple) GC based on the retain/release/autorelease model, so that MacRuby can run within a process that does not support the ObjC GC." Does that open the gateway to iPhone development??

Grand Central Dispatch and MacRuby?
by Rich Morin 10 Jun '09

10 Jun '09

Grand Central Dispatch is Apple's proposed technology for making concurrent programming easier and safer. It looks pretty cool, as far as I can tell from the somewhat fluffy discussion here: http://images.apple.com/macosx/technology/docs/GrandCentral_TB_brief_200906… It's also pretty clear that any first-class development language on Mac OS X, going forward, will have to support this. Ruby has all sorts of block-based goodness already and Laurent is busily implementing JIT for MacRuby, so I speculate that GCD may well be in MacRuby's future. Has anyone looked into this possibility, if only to the extent of sketching out what language extensions might be needed? -r -- http://www.cfcl.com/rdm Rich Morin http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/resume rdm(a)cfcl.com http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/weblog +1 650-873-7841 Technical editing and writing, programming, and web development

Rich, I believe (but I'm not sure) that Grand Central Dispatch as well as a Snow Leopard are technologies under NDA and can't be discussed publicly on the mailing list. I'm not in the know and can only speculate. My guess is that MacRuby will eventually take advantage of GCD but I'm afraid, we will have to wait for Sept. to know more about that. - Matt On Tue, Jun 9, 2009 at 5:57 AM, Rich Morin <rdm(a)cfcl.com> wrote: > Grand Central Dispatch is Apple's proposed technology for making > concurrent programming easier and safer.

The on_double_action is copied from the TargetActionConvenience.
