Hi,

After 3 months of development since the last release, MacRuby 0.6 is  
now available. Get it here while it’s still hot!

MacRuby is an implementation of Ruby 1.9 directly on top of Mac OS X  
core technologies such as the Objective-C runtime and garbage  
collector, the LLVM compiler infrastructure and the Foundation and ICU  
frameworks. It is the goal of MacRuby to enable the creation of  
full-fledged Mac OS X applications which do not sacrifice performance  
in order to enjoy the benefits of using Ruby.

You can learn more about MacRuby, and download a binary installer,  
from the website:

[http://macruby.org](http://macruby.org)

Or about this release more specifically, on our blog:

[http://www.macruby.org/blog/2010/04/30/macruby06.html](http://www.macruby.org/blog/2010/04/30/macruby06.html)

Enjoy,

Laurent

Dear Laurent  
Although the site mentions installing LLVM, it does not mention build  
number.  
I’ve googled and found different blog articles mentioning different LLVM  
builds (82747 and 89156).  
Can you confirm which to go for (the articles are all dated 2009).

Can I just do : sudo port install llvm

(I will be installing macruby using rvm, btw. Hope that’s okay).

Thanks, rahul.
