[MacRuby-devel] [ANN] MacRuby 0.6

[Matt Aimonetti]

Technically, someone could get MacRuby to compile code that would run on the
Apple mobile platforms. This is something that was mentioned a few times in
the mailing list and I believe more experiments will take place once we have
the new improved compiler and VM will be done.

Check the 0.6 blog post announcement, Laurent explains the plan for 0.7
towards the end of the post.
