Gui Programming with Mac Ruby
summary
MacRuby compiles Ruby onto the Objective‑C runtime via LLVM so Ruby objects are NSObjects, you can call Cocoa methods directly and it runs with a multithreaded GC and no GIL, giving often better benchmarks than MRI. A working example is the GitHub client hubcap, built with HotCocoa-style DSLs; RubyCocoa is deprecated. MacRuby 0.10 ships and MacRuby 0.10 precedes a 1.0 roadmap, but apps must currently 50 MB bundle the runtime and native‑extension gems can require extra work.
