Mac OS X Ruby/Objective-C Bridge Updated

Posted by timothy on from the jewels dept.

phyxeld writes "RubyCocoa 0.4.0 is out. From the sf.net page: 'RubyCocoa is a Mac OS X framework that allows Cocoa programming in the Object-Oriented Scripting Language Ruby. RubyCocoa allows writing a Cocoa application in Ruby. It allows creating and using a Cocoa object in a Ruby script. In Cocoa application, mixture of program written by both Ruby and Objective-C is possible.' It's always nice to see more GPL software in the Mac OS X world."

    The grammar nazi could have a field day with this one:

    I heard that Ruby was mostly popular over in Japan, but I didn't expect this kind of Engrish at Sourceforge!

      Sourceforge isn't US-only site. And you can't expect that every non-native writes English fluently.

      Maybe next time they will write the description in Japanese to get it perfect.

  2. AppleScript Studio by TiMac · · Score: 4, Informative
    Sounds a little like Applescript Studio, from Apple themselves...which allows Cocoa applications to be written with a mix of Applescript and Objective-C. I like this system because sometimes its easier and faster to develop an interaction or automation application with a scripting language like Applescript.

    This RubyCocoa I've not used, but I bet it shims in and allows the same sort of thing.
