>* I'm not aware of the particulars of the IronRuby or JRuby bridges, but in the case of RubyCocoa, there is a translation step to get from a Ruby method name to an Objective-Cselector. In MacRuby, there is no transation step. MacRuby method names are Objective-C selectors and vice versa. So, we'd have to *add* a step in the method dispatch to do translation (since there isn't already one).*

I believe that IronRuby presents a "view" onto the CLR objects, so
yes, there is bound to be an intermediate step to facilitate this.

Thanks for your time and your answers, gentlemen.

Scott
