hmm I guess I disagree but since I just got started with MacRuby and don&#39;t know Cocoa I might be totally wrong.<br><br>My hope is to have all the common cocoa methods available in Ruby so I can quickly create simple apps without always having to dig into the cocoa documentation and create this kind of super long/not so&nbsp; obvious method calls.<br>
