I sincerely doubt a tool like this will give you access to the full Ruby ecosystem.
I definitely love the idea though, I struggle with lower level languages, although I consider myself fairly decent with both Python and JavaScript.
- pjmlp 5y agoThis one in particular probably not, since it is in early stages. RubyMotion on the contrary is quite advanced and an AOT compiler to go to, when one wants to use Ruby for mobile development. http://www.rubymotion.com/ http://www.rubymotion.com/
- _3u10 5y agoRubyMotion is probably as good as it gets for AOT. Ruby depends on dynamic dispatch and thankfully objc is very similar the needs of a Ruby-like language. Truffle might work even better as it’s able to recompile. Any C++ port will likely need to reimplement half of the objc runtime to support all of Ruby. Not sure if clangs/gcc objc support includes the runtime, but I’m imagining it would… so maybe it’s reusable that way.
- cmer 5y agoIs RubyMotion something we can actually use to build non-toy apps in 2021? I thought it was dead, but perhaps it is not!
- wndxlori 5y agoIt is not dead. There are regular releases, a helpful community at slack.RubyMotion.com and training available at https://wndx.school https://wndx.school (that last is mine)
