Has anyone seen this yet from Apple: “To open up the benefits of the Cocoa frameworks to a wider developer audience, Leopard embraces two other highly dynamic languages for use in building Cocoa applications: Ruby and Python. These two languages are an excellent fit for integrating with the Cocoa frameworks, and they both have high quality bridges to Objective-C. These bridges allow you to mix and match Objective-C, Ruby, and Python, allowing you to choose the best tool for the job at hand while using high level Cocoa features such as Key-Value Coding (KVC) and Key-Value Observing (KVO).” [http://developer.apple.com/leopard/overview/apptech.html](http://developer.apple.com/leopard/overview/apptech.html) Sounds really interesting, anyone know anything more about this? ---

Well, one of the talks at RubyConf this year was from the Apple employee working on Ruby integration. It’s true that Apple seems to be stepping up support. Leopard will ship with Ruby (built as a framework it seems) and some add ons (Rails, libxml, and ruby/osa are some I believe). There was also a lot of talk about RubyCocoa, as you just quoted, yes.
