Ruby on the iPhone

[Evan Light]

Anyone else out there realized that Ruby has been compiled for and now
runs on the iPhone? If you have an iPhone, go visit this site:
http://iphone.nullriver.com/beta/. Installer.app will help you
easilly install a terminal and Ruby (!!!). Just go to /usr/local/bin
and play. I did a tiny bit of benchmarking myself just for giggles.

Granted that I haven't played with SWIG yet but I wonder how it would
do for wrapping UIKit. I imagine that it's not nearly as simple as it
sounds.

Wouldn't RubyObjC be far more appropriate?

Sorry for the repost then.

True. SWIG doesn't accomodate Objective-C, does it? Bitten by my
over-enthusiasm.
