Do you guys considered stripped down MacRuby version for any POSIX OS where Array, String and some core classes use some alternative implementation of Foundation or Foundation-free implementation?
I think it would be easiest, given the limited number of classes in question, to simply fill out the implementations for an alternative objc runtime on Linux, but I could be wrong. The GC is a more interesting and difficult question. That said, I could be quite wrong here, I've spent only a small amount of time digging around in MacRuby's innards so far. -- Perry E.
