MacRuby Cocoa UIs

Administrator

For a while, I've been thinking about using MacRuby for native UIs and multiple windows in Pharo on the Mac. I uploaded a proof of concept to https://github.com/seandenigris/PharoMacRubyTest . It has a simple Cocoa UI that uses http to get a value (the current time) from a running Pharo image and displays it in a text field.

Cheers,

nice!
I was about to play with a similar approach using Cocoa.
Did you try with more complex examples?
i would like to understand if HTTP would be fast enough as an IPC,
between the UI and a Pharo headless vm.

I just used MacRuby because it is more fun than ObjC :)

No, I just wanted the build and play with simplest possible example.
