[MacRuby-devel] is there a sane way to use/create XPC services via macruby?

[Matt Aimonetti]

MacRuby fully supports sandboxing:

I don't have any experience with XPC:
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPSystemStartup/Chapters/CreatingXPCServices.html
but in theory we should totally support that. A nice wrapper would be
great
tho.

I haven't read anything about XPC services being a requirement, but devs can
and probably should sandbox their MacRuby apps.
