[MacRuby-devel] Translating Obj-C to MacRuby

[B. Ohr]

Hi all!

Using Cocoa in MacRuby is sometimes a hard job, because all  
documentation, examples and sample code is Obj-C. For example, I found  
this piece of code '[NSNumber numberWithBool:NO]' and asked myself how  
to write that in Macruby.

I opened macirb and typed:

 > NSNumber.numberWithBool 0
=> false

First I had to laugh and then I thought: Hey implementors of macruby,  
you really did a great job!

What do you think about a table on http://www.macruby.org/ which lists  
all such short (and astonishing) examples. Or even better, why not  
create a command in the services menu which translates a Obj-C  
sequence (by regexp).

BTW, the second example I tried is:

 > NSDictionary.dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys "a", "b", nil

but instead of {"b"=>"a"} I got a seg fault! (ticket is filed)

Greets,
