    There's this new "MacRuby" thing that Apple's working on that's  
pretty slick. Since Leopard has garbage collection, the new MacRuby  
takes Ruby 1.9 (which also has a JIT compiler) and makes all Ruby  
objects full fledged ObjC objects.

    End result, it will work even better then RubyCocoa does now, full  
threading will be supported, etc.

   Its on www.macosforge.com
