Vincenzo, There was work on HotCocoa at least as recently as Jan 11, 2011, I think. Here is the github graph of changes: https://github.com/richkilmer/hotcocoa/network As of today (3/24/2011), this is the most recent list of committers (I think): https://github.com/gmanley/hotcocoa/contributors dj2 (dan sinclair) richkilmer (Richard Kilmer) isaac (Isaac Kearse) mattetti (Matt Aimonetti) jamis (Jamis Buck) hellopatrick (Patrick) reborg (reborg) Last change in the wiki was 10 months ago (6/10/2010): http://www.macruby.org/trac/wiki/HotCocoa?action=history Unfortunately, I think it is an effort off to the side of the macruby team and core developers that hasn't gotten much attention. I know many (including myself) would like to see it succeed though. It was a lot of fun to work with for the few days that I did, and fun toys that you can create cool things with quickly can often do really well. The main problems I think have been the lack of attention, lack of development, and the large size of the produced application, at least in earlier versions.

Hello all, I discovered macruby since a few weeks and I'm really enthusiast. I begun playing with it and really like the hotcocoa approach, but it seems stopped since more than a year, is it still maintained ?
Anyway, I think I found a bug in the hotcocoa canvas part: the text method draws at a very big size regardless of the chosen font. The problem is that the transformation matrix for the text is not set.
Here is the fix if anyone needs it:
module HotCocoa::Graphics class Canvas def text(txt="A", x=0, y=0) affine = CGContextGetCTM(@ctx) CGContextSetTextMatrix (@ctx, affine); txt = txt.to_s unless txt.kind_of?(String) if @registration == :center width = textwidth(txt) x = x - width / 2 y = y + @fsize / 2 end CGContextShowTextAtPoint(@ctx, x, y, txt, txt.length) end end end
