Amazing. I'm mostly amazed by this specific breakthrough: "MacRuby 0.6 provides support for C extensions written for the original implementation of ruby. We were able to successfully use the Nokogiri, SQLite3 and PostgreSQL extensions from MacRuby." How did you manage to install the PostgreSQL extension with macgem? Any special setup? Thanks a lot

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:

Enjoy,
Laurent
