MacRuby is another bridge from Ruby to Cocoa. You can think of it as an improved version of RubyCocoa, or as a Ruby 1.9 runtime implemented in Objective C.
Threading is now native, and objects fly between Objective C and Ruby seamlessly, since they're all implemented in the same base class hierarchy.

“I will solve your problem for you. And you will pay me. And you don’t have to use the solution. If you want options, go talk to other people. But I’ll solve the problem for you the best way I know how. And you can use it or not - that’s up to you. You are the client. But you pay me.” - Paul Rand paraphrased by Steve Jobs
Next time a client asks for 5 different logos I'm sending them this post in reply.

From a popular, high-traffic job board:
(Anywhere) We are a fast-growing, fully funded brand-focused videoblog network, looking to expand and hire an art director part time as we continue to grow. Designer should be proficient at hand-coding clean, well documented CSS, logo design, and if possible motion-graphics; interest in usability design; knowledge of PHP and Javascript/Flash is a plus. Examples of the current offering can be found at www.somecompany.com. Pay is commensurate with experience.
Is it me, or is this company really looking for three people? I can count the number of people I know who can do "motion-graphics", "logo design", and also write good code in multiple languages on one hand.
In all likelihood they'll end up with someone who convinces them that they can do it all and ends up doing none of it very well.
