From: Jean Guillaume Pyraksos on 28 Feb 2010 05:01 Hi, If I download MacRuby, will I be able to program "usual" Ruby (without Cocoa and the Objective-C bridge), with gems, etc. or am I obliged to program a Caoca Mac application ? Is there an IDE inside, or just XCode ? Thanks a lot, JG

The stated goal of MacRuby is to be 100% compatible syntactically and behaviorally with Ruby 1.9. So, in theory, you should be able to write usual Ruby code. I don't know that all the gems are compatible though. You might ask their list about particular gems... http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macruby-devel There is no other IDE from Apple except Xcode that would be used for Ruby.

So there are some gems that will never ever work with MacRuby. MacRuby is good for casual programming right now but until it gets a little bit older I wouldn't consider it for developing production applications. It is still a fun language for hacking around on, though. -- Rob -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
