Fully expected. I don't know how much Rosetta is a total environment
and how much it goes outside, but it's very reminiscent of 68k>PPC,
when the OS was made native bit by bit, one of the last being the
Finder.
Since OS X is immensely more complicated than OS 7, I don't expect it
all to be native. But of course this is an issue. If there are bugs
in Rosetta and any calls it makes to emulated vs native OS, those
will obviously filter down to any app, not just Rb. And do we know
which calls/frameworks are native and which are emulated?
I'm sure Apple's attitude will be to not bother fixing anything,
because the whole transition is expected. Within a couple of years
everyone will be saying PPC? What was that?

In the discussion of how Rosetta affects the performance of an app,
it is sometimes assumed that system frameworks will run natively
even if your app is not yet native. Apparently this isn't true, and
your entire process will run on Rosetta, including frameworks like
QuickTime.

the role, and the "father of the Mac": "In 1979, I specified a long
list that covered most of the things we would do with it [the Mac]
though I missed four major uses: gambling, pornography, sending spam
and spreading viruses."
