"RubyMotion for Android features a completely new Ruby runtime specifically designed and implemented for Android development."
That is huge, very excited to check this out!
I would love being able to write ruby instead of java (whereas objc doesn't bother me that much).
- georgedrummond 12y agoHow does this differ from Ruboto http://ruboto.org/ http://ruboto.org/? I've only just started playing with Rubymotion and it does seem very nice. I'm excited its going to support Android too but Ruboto is another piece of technology that also looks exciting.
- infraruby 12y agoRuboto uses JRuby which has a long start up time.

- infraruby 12y ago> I would love being able to write ruby instead of java You can do that with InfraRuby (http://infraruby.com/ http://infraruby.com/) if you don't mind writing type annotations.
- infraruby 12y agoThanks for the downvotes! In case it's not obvious, this is a free download (follow the "Installation" link). A major update will be released next week! InfraRuby compiles Ruby with type annotations to ordinary Java classfiles.
- wukerplank 12y agoWow, that is well hidden. Also: I don't get "Live" form. Wouldn't a "hey you wrote Ruby, but here is your .jar" form make more sense?
