This is from Laurent Sansonetti, the original author and long time maintainer of MacRuby. It doesn't say that anywhere until after you buy it, which they should really change since that made me go from "Uh, did some random guys just take MacRuby's code and hack in some extra stuff to sell it?" to "Holy crap so THIS is what he's been working on!"



Actually they say that this is based on MacRuby:

http://www.rubymotion.com/features/

at the bottom of the page:

RubyMotion is based on MacRuby, a widely-used implementation of Ruby created and maintained by Apple for over 4 years. Starting from a solid and stable code base, the guys who originally created MacRuby now work on RubyMotion. You're in good hands.


Ah, now I see! I suppose I glossed over that. It should be bigger. ;)


I agree, I looked at pretty much every page on the site wondering what the connection was to MacRuby, until I found it in the FAQ.


Some impressive stuff here, check out the getting started video at around 4:30 The 'positioning a label' live from the simulator command line is way cool. http://www.rubymotion.com/getting-started/
