Ruby for the Objective-C Runtime
Project maintained by The MacRuby Team Hosted on GitHub Pages — Theme by mattgraham
What Is MacRuby?
MacRuby is an implementation of Ruby 1.9 directly on top of Mac OS X core technologies such as the Objective-C runtime and garbage collector, the LLVM compiler infrastructure and the Foundation and ICU frameworks. It is the goal of MacRuby to enable the creation of full-fledged Mac OS X applications which do not sacrifice performance in order to enjoy the benefits of using Ruby.
