Thanks for the observer recommendations, back when I wrote these examples, we were not yet supporting blocks. I should probably show both examples now that blocks are properly supported. - Matt On Sun, Apr 3, 2011 at 1:00 PM, Ben Rimmington <benrimmington@me.com> wrote:

I like the name MacRuby :) NSObject is also still called NSObject although NeXTStep hasn't been around for a long time.
I don't hate the name MacRuby, but I thought it might be confusing (if someday Ruby becomes the most popular language for writing iOS apps). However, your analogy to the NeXTSTEP frameworks was good.

While there is nothing wrong with having this kind of discussion, I don't think we are currently looking into changing the project's name ;)
Maybe it just takes a while to appreciate the project name (a bit like how the name "iPad" was unpopular at first).
P.S. In chapter 5 of "MacRuby: The Definitive Guide", you might be able to use -addObserverForName:object:queue:usingBlock: to simplify your NSNotificationCenter examples.

For the second example, instead of:
framework 'Foundation'
class NotificationHandler def tea_time(notification) puts "it's tea time!" end end
center = NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter notification_handler = NotificationHandler.new
center.addObserver( notification_handler, selector: "tea_time:", name: 'tea_time_reminder', object: nil )
center.postNotificationName("tea_time_reminder", object:self)
You might be able to do:
framework 'Foundation'
center = NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter
observer = center.addObserverForName( "tea_time_reminder", object: nil queue: nil usingBlock: Proc.new{|notification| puts "it's tea time!" } )
center.postNotificationName("tea_time_reminder", object:self)
