[MacRuby-devel] Hey Apple, please be nice and share

2011-03-07 Thread Matt Aimonetti 
Apple seems to have decided to ship MacRuby as a private Framework in their
new OS 
(Lion),
meaning that OS X developers can't link to it, even tho it ships with the
OS. If you would like to not have to embed MacRuby, please take a minute to
file a ticket as suggested in the post.

Even though I totally would rather see MacRuby as a public framework just like 
everyone else here, isn't the reason because once it's in the Public 
frameworks, Apple would have to maintain it for a certain amount of time, and 
since MacRuby hasn't hit the 1.0 milestone yet, they might not want to do it 
right now?

Of course, this is just a guess :-)

Maybe it's private as they are using it from within some of the apps that the 
Lion preview ships with. Either way, it would be good to get some kind of 
confirmation as to whether we can expect it to stay private or not, come the 
release. I would hope that there isn't a need to be too secretive about these 
sorts of plans.

I think the same as you. 
I don't think MacRuby is mature enough to become a public framework yet. 
It is great for developing Cocoa applications, but as a Ruby 1.9 implementation 
I think it still has some way to go.
