[MacRuby-devel] Advice for Total Tyro

[David Frantz]

OK, no idea what Godwin's law is but if you look at the deeper meaning of my post which is: Apple needs something like MacRuby as a supported alternative to XCodes C languages.     Something that can server as a development environment in its own right and as something that can be integrated into apps as a modern scripting environment. 

Maybe speaking the name Visual BASIC detracts from the point but it really shouldn't.   For all it's warts VB allows for Quickly developed apps.   If nothing else I'm supporting programmer productivity here.

Apple does seem to be extremely focused on the "C" dialects only.   Maybe my impression here is wrong, but I'd rather see MacRuby shipped by Apple as part of their developer tools set officially supported.    MacRuby should be as important to Apple as Visual BASIC is to MS.
