There shouldn't be any problem, assuming you are careful not trying to run into the same object from different threads.  Unlike the traditional Ruby implementation, there is no global lock to prevent race conditions.

... and, of course, since MacRuby supports GCD, the appropriate thing to do is simply tie each potentially contended object to its own GCD queue and use the async setter / sync getter pattern to make sure that everything works the way you expect!
