RubyBrowser?

This will be cool, I think. I’m not getting distracted from Sparkle 2, I swear.

It also happens to be written in RubyCocoa, which I am enjoying immensely. Also check out RubyObjC, which is superior technically but seems less polished. Maybe I’m wrong—feel free to weigh in.

More on why it’s a lot more fun to code in Ruby than in Obj-C later.

    Let me at it! :) That’ll be quite useful.

  2. Michael Gregoire 17 September, 07 @ 7:30 am

    I forgot to ask…. have you done any speed comparisons between RubyCocoa and Cocoa?

  3. Ben Stiglitz 17 September, 07 @ 1:15 pm

    Oh, but think of the categories! The categories!

    …well, maybe Extends.

    Michael: I don’t plan to hack at this any more until Sparkle 2’s done, so feel free to go for it. It’s in an icky, undocumented state now: Download Ruby Browser (17-09-07). I haven’t done any speed comparisons, but it’s obviously slower by necessity, not only because Ruby’s about a bajillion times slower than compiled C but because it’s not a very efficient bridge. RubyObjC is a lot fancier, but the bridge operations are negligible compared to the relative slowness of Ruby, methinks.

    Ben: Leaving those out would be like leaving out mixins at a Coldstone. It will not stand.

    Mmm… oreo bits.

    Hey, thanks Andy!

    Peace
    Mike

    Andy: Glad to hear that you know the One True Browser Way. (Incidentally, I’d love to see an Objective-C IDE with a browser.)

    That’s a nice use of NSTreeController.

    Update more andy.
    skip class if you must.

    It’s actually been Rotation that’s been taking all my time; that’s over now, so I really hope I’ll have more time to be useful.

    I’m also waiting until Leopard comes out so I can write the deluge of articles on new Cocoa things that have been under NDA.

  9. Ash Ponders 17 October, 07 @ 11:40 pm

    I’m sure your marsedit drafts folder is bulging with leopard articles, but my rss reader is bored. Cant you tell me something nifty about ruby?

  10. Alistair Holt 21 October, 07 @ 7:33 am

    I love this. Would be nice to use fastri (http://eigenclass.org/hiki/fastri) rather than ri as it’s pretty slow :)

    I’d love to get involved if you’re looking for any help.

  11. Andy Matuschak 21 October, 07 @ 10:35 am

    Excellent suggestion, Alistair. I just wish it had support for -f html. I guess I’ll have to parse the plaintext output and make it prettier.

  12. Alistair Holt 24 October, 07 @ 2:40 am

    Yea, it’s a shame about that. It would be really nice to have some tasty custom formatting though (via css?).
