[MacRuby-devel] MacRuby application on Xcode

[Eric Christopherson]

There's also RubyCocoa:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/rubycocoa/files/RubyCocoa/1.2.0/. Note
that the text incorrectly says "Looking for the latest version?
Download RubyCocoa-1.0.0.tar.gz (2.8 MB)"; the newest is actually
1.2.0. It was updated in July and says it works on 10.9; I'm not sure
about 10.10 or Xcode 6.1.

Also, since the subject of switching languages came up, Apple's new
Swift is closer in spirit to Ruby than Objective-C was:
