By the way, I did a quick demo of HotCocoa for Matz and he was pretty impressed. He even said: "I will have to play with that when I will buy a Mac ;)"

First I was totally shocked(in a good way) to hear that Matz is considering buying a Mac and then I was like.... wow, if Matz sees something in HotCocoa, it's that there is really something there.

I think what Matz liked from my quick demo was the fact Rich and Laurent kept the Ruby spirit. In other words: "use Ruby and have fun playing with your code".

Rich, Laurent and I talked about this at length this weekend, and I think we can safely say that we'd to improve upon Cocoa and Mac OS X development in Ruby.

One example we cooked up was this:

play_sound do |t|
 sin(440.0 * t * 2.0 * Math::PI)
end

Yeah, that's exactly the sort of thing I'd hoped HotCocoa would be able to provide:  Something so easy that an entirely new segment of programmers (or "artist cum programmers") will find their creativity more easy to express (and that's kind of what "it's all about" in many aspects of what we offer, I daresay).
