Ask HN: Is is okay to use MacRuby to write iOS Apps?
Does Apple's announcement today mean we can use MacRuby to write iOS Apps?
- cscotta 16y agoUnfortunately, the iOS platform does not support the Objective C garbage collector available in Mac OS. Instead, memory is controlled using manual allocation and autorelease pools. So, while the TOS would permit this, a technical limit remains for the time being.
- gosuri 16y agoMay we can monkey-patch the memory release mechanism to the Object, like Object.release. Just a thought.
