Hmmm. Lack of debugger support is surely a serious limitation. A deal- 
stopper for any complex real-world app I would have thought.

I guess you're aware that this will eventually be needed.

Is anyone using MacRuby for a large project? How are they coping  
without a debugger? (I'd like to know since I'm planning to convert an  
old non-Objective-C app to MacRuby).
