RubyMotion's Secret Sauce

on YouTube ↗42m

" summary

Claims that RubyMotion compiles Ruby to native iOS/macOS apps by directly emits Objective C runtime calls, shows a live timer app rewritten from verbose UIKit wiring to concise Ruby plus teacup and sugarcube gems, and demonstrates build/run/Sideload via rake device / rake release. Notes limitations (no eval on iOS, static linking) and interop: CocoaPods and static libraries work. The demo compiles and runs in the simulator and device, and the community libraries actually simplify UI and timers.
