Thanks! I have not considered it. I think most developers are moving towards using MacRuby and Xcode 4. I don't see the need, maybe I'm misinformed. You can always just require them as needed. Can you think of a use case for it? Regards, - Rob On 2011-06-19, at 7:10 PM, Joshua Ballanco wrote:

Very cool stuff, Rob!

Have you considered potentially merging Hotkeys and mynu into HotCocoa?

Hi guys,

Hope you enjoy em! All of these are on rubygems now:

Wrapping NSMXL (Credit to Wilson Lee / kourge): https://github.com/RobertLowe/ayril

Global Hotkeys: https://github.com/RobertLowe/hotkeys

Systembar Menu DSL: https://github.com/RobertLowe/mynu

It should be noted that these all work fine from inside xcode 4 too.

If you find any edge cases let me know, I'll gladly take care of them. I'm still new to the macruby community / cocoa.

Ah, I understand. I think rubygems is still the best source: Try searching for `macruby`: https://rubygems.org/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&query=macruby (For instance: mac_bacon is an awesome testing framework I just found, it even supports loading nib files!)

I feel like Rich originally started HotCocoa figuring it would replace Xcode, but I think that as time has progressed that is maybe a less needed goal that was originally thought?

Unfortunately, I have not had enough time to be as involved in HotCocoa as I would have liked. There is certainly nothing wrong with keeping these as independent gems. I do, however, think it might be useful to collect MacRuby specific gems (especially those that make app development easier) in a central list somewhere…

Except for the horrendous performance hit with MacRuby, I think more gems is generally a better thing. I wouldn't say HotCocoa is dead, though as Josh mentioned, I think its best uses have changed---there is still a lot of useful stuff in HotCocoa and the project is still be maintained (more or less). At a high level, I think a lot of MacRuby gems would probably fit with what HotCocoa was trying to do (simplify the initialization and configuration of Cocoa objects), but at a technical level adding more mini-languages is probably not the best idea. Though, I have been able to move most of one of my other MacRuby gems into HotCocoa as a mapping, it was an easy fit since they operated similarly, and I was able to shed some complexity. I suspect that at least mynu could be mirrored in HotCocoa as well since there are already some similarities in how HotCocoa maps NSMenu. That is just my two cents, though.
