Ruby and Cocoa

on YouTube ↗30m

" summary

Compares RubyCocoa, MacRuby and HotCocoa with concrete tradeoffs: RubyCocoa uses a bridged VM and proxy objects and ships Ruby source in the bundle, MacRuby runs on a single runtime (no proxies), supports native threads and ahead‑of‑time compilation so source can be hidden, HotCocoa provides terse Ruby GUI helpers. Demonstrates a calculator desktop app, embeds MacRuby framework into the .app, and drives UI acceptance tests using AppleScript/accessibility APIs and the appscript gem; unit tests refactor controller/model/view and work reliably though accessibility scripting is verbose.
