Unfactoring From Patterns
summary
Explains MacRuby: a reimplementation of Ruby 1.8 that runs on the Objective-C runtime and uses CoreFoundation so Ruby strings/arrays are native Cocoa types, eliminating proxy overhead and enabling no bridge conversion for method calls. Shows IRB, calling Cocoa and ScriptingBridge APIs, a working iTunes controller demo and Xcode integration, and HotCocoa for concise UI builders. Project is young but runnable (gems, IRB), aims for multicore threads, JIT/compilation and OSA integration; demo mostly works despite a few glitches.
