Technically, someone could get MacRuby to compile code that would run on the Apple mobile platforms. This is something that was mentioned a few times in the mailing list and I believe more experiments will take place once we have the new improved compiler and VM will be done. Check the 0.6 blog post announcement, Laurent explains the plan for 0.7 towards the end of the post. - Matt On Tue, May 4, 2010 at 10:17 AM, B. Ohr <jazzbox@7zz.de> wrote:
Matt,
this is already aware to me, I also do not know the planning of MacRuby (this point disappeared from the website) just as little I the intentions of Apple knows. If you read up once again, I have wished not from Laurent that he implements it, but I wanted to know whether this is possible to implement with a dead simple (non-GC-)memory allocation.

Bernrd,
I can't speak for Laurent or Apple, but I think that even though I would also love to be able to prototype iP* apps in MacRuby, there are plenty of other things that have a higher priority. However, I'm sure that if the community gets organized, that feature can be added without the direct involvement of Laurent or other Apple's employees working on the project.

Hi Laurent,
many thanks for the new version!
if I might express a wish, then this:
MacRuby on the iPhone (or iPad) - Simulator (yes, the Simulator, not the iPhone itself)
for the quick checkout of ideas, however, also learning around the frameworks. Prototyping in ObjC is the hell, at least for me!
One could solve the problem of the missing GC, nevertheless, simply with an alloc of memory what never becomes deallocated.
Could such a thing be possible?

Hi,
After 3 months of development since the last release, MacRuby 0.6 is now available. Get it here while it's still hot!
MacRuby is an implementation of Ruby 1.9 directly on top of Mac OS X core technologies such as the Objective-C runtime and garbage collector, the LLVM compiler infrastructure and the Foundation and ICU frameworks. It is the goal of MacRuby to enable the creation of full-fledged Mac OS X applications which do not sacrifice performance in order to enjoy the benefits of using Ruby.
You can learn more about MacRuby, and download a binary installer, from the website:
Or about this release more specifically, on our blog:
