Ruby on your pocket with RubyMotion
summary
RubyMotion compiles Ruby 1.9.3 into native iOS and Mac binaries using the Objective‑C runtime and LLVM and sells licenses at $199/year with a 30‑day refund. It exposes Objective‑C APIs directly so no bridge and full Cocoa interop and supports 3,000+ Obj‑C libraries plus ~500 RubyMotion gems. It statically compiles so no interpreter, no eval, no binding methods and uses ARC so be careful with retain‑cycle blocks. Rake tasks, motion, IB gem, motion‑kit and Bacon testing work and the simulator demo runs.
