Ruby on the iPhone

Evan Light

Anyone else out there realized that Ruby has been compiled for and now
runs on the iPhone? If you have an iPhone, go visit this site:
http://iphone.nullriver.... Installer.app will help you
easilly install a terminal and Ruby (!!!). Just go to /usr/local/bin
and play. I did a tiny bit of benchmarking myself just for giggles.

Granted that I haven't played with SWIG yet but I wonder how it would
do for wrapping UIKit. I imagine that it's not nearly as simple as it
sounds.

Nearly this same message was posted two weeks ago.

Wouldn't RubyObjC be far more appropriate?

Sorry for the repost then.

True. SWIG doesn't accomodate Objective-C, does it? ;) Bitten by my
over-enthusiasm.
