Title is way too dramatic. Short version: some app creation tool group hired a few people.

I wasn't sure what RubyMotion was. If you are also wondering, here's what Wikipedia [1] has to say: > RubyMotion is an IDE of the Ruby programming language that runs on iOS, OS X and Android. RubyMotion is an open-sourced commercial product created by Laurent Sansonetti for HipByte and is based on MacRuby for OS X. RubyMotion adapted and extended MacRuby to work on platforms beyond OS X. > RubyMotion apps execute in an iOS simulator alongside a read-eval-print loop (REPL) for interactive inspection and modification. 3rd-party Objective-C libraries can be included in a RubyMotion project, either manually or by using a package manager such as CocoaPods. Programs are statically compiled into machine code by use of Rake as its build and execution tool. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RubyMotion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RubyMotion

The title is comically grandiose as far as I can tell. Which isn't easy b/c the text is rather verbose, and far too inside-basebally. I was expecting some license changes or similar to be hidden between the lines. But it appears RubyMotion was commercial even before?

  It's a paraphrased version of a quote often attributed to Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto after the Pearl Harbor attack.

Reading the title I was sure that China did something, and now all our base are belong to them. "We are something Ruby related, and we did something with our business structure" was a real letdown.

Title was great, article was great news. Y’all grouchy HN types need to lighten up and allow some fun. As a Rubyist, this is exciting. Language I use is getting an improved LLVM compiler. Better tools that put native, non-Cordova mobile app development within my reach.
