[MacRuby-devel] integrating macruby into cocoa apps

[Niko Matsakis]

I downloaded the early release of MacRuby hoping to integrate it into  
an existing cocoa application: I need to be able to run small amounts  
of user-supplied code to do custom string manipulations, and I thought  
MacRuby might be perfect for this.  However, I don't see any obvious  
way to hand off an NSString with code and have it execute in some  
environment.  Does such an API exist?  The only entry point I saw was  
macruby_main(), which doesn't seem quite right, or ruby_exec_node()  
which looks pretty low-level.  I realize that MacRuby is still in an  
early state, but I just wanted to be sure I wasn't overlooking  
something before I dug too much deeper.


thanks,

Niko
