While there is nothing wrong with having this kind of discussion, I don't think we are currently looking into changing the project's name ;) - Matt On Sun, Apr 3, 2011 at 10:33 AM, Johannes Fahrenkrug <jfahrenkrug@gmail.com>wrote:
I like the name MacRuby :) NSObject is also still called NSObject although NeXTStep hasn't been around for a long time.

I'm an iOS developer, and I haven't tried MacRuby yet, but it appears to be a good alternative to Objective-C.
Assuming that MacRuby will be used on iOS devices in the future, perhaps the framework (and project) should be renamed before the v1.0 release. Some alternatives are:
* AppleRuby.framework * CoreRuby.framework * HotRuby.framework (if HotCocoa is popular) * Ruby.framework (in Versions/?? subfolder) * RubyBridge.framework * RubyCocoa.framework (in Versions/B subfolder) * RubyFoundation.framework * RubyKit.framework
Since you've recently moved to GitHub, and your "MacRuby: The Definitive Guide" book is probably nearing completion, I don't think this is likely to happen. But I thought it was worth suggesting, because choosing to rename after v1.0 (e.g. "iPhone OS 3.x" to "iOS 4") is worse.
Cheers.
