[MacRuby-devel] Show MacRuby? - a start...

[Robert Cloud]

Thanks for this, I will definitely find it helpful.  I must confess that I have a tormented relationship with MacRuby.  I am a Pythonista and have found it extremely hard to move to the Ruby world.  My major issue with the language is the irb shell.  I definitely do not want to start a flame war, but I find it vastly inferior to iPython, especially iPython's newer releases.  Second, it frequently crashes when I do anything wrong syntactically.  I do appreciate MacRuby being a better accessor to Cocoa but in general don't think it is quite ready.  Instead I prototype my code in PyObjC and then implement it in Obj-C.

I have been using it on and off over the past 3 months for client work and have come across a few things that I often need that are in some way obscure / hard to find / under-documented, or -- mostly -- cocoa design patterns and ideas that are completely foreign to this rubyist. I wanted to try and contribute something to this project and as such, I've started a public repo of "Recipes" of MacRuby tasks / activities that were "hard fought."
