Welcome to use it, except:
* it's not officially supported by Apple
* it binds to Cocoa (and if you're lucky it's even up to date and doesn't have that many bugs)
* you can't use it on iOS
* you can't get a job doing X instead of Obj-C because almost everyone just uses Obj-C, the Apple supported language
- ryannielsen 16y ago> * it's not officially supported by Apple MacRuby is an Apple project. PyObjC isn't, but ships in Mac OS X. That's rather officially supported. > * it binds to Cocoa (and if you're lucky it's even up to date and doesn't have that many bugs) Not true. MacRuby is a prime example of a language that taps directly into the Objective-C runtime, eliminating the need for a bridge. And PyObjC is a great example of a mature bridge – it's been around and robust since the NeXT era. > * you can't use it on iOS http://mobileorchard.com/announcing-iphone-wax-native-uikit-iphone-apps-written-in-lua/ http://mobileorchard.com/announcing-iphone-wax-native-uikit-... > * you can't get a job doing X instead of Obj-C because almost everyone just uses Obj-C, the Apple supported language You can't get jobs programming Ruby, Python, C#, Lua or any other language?
