Using Ruby for iOS development

" summary

RubyMotion compiles Ruby to native machine code via LLVM and claims to let Ruby behave like Obj‑C on iOS: compiles Ruby to native machine code via LLVM, use Objective‑C classes directly with no bridge. Tooling includes a REPL, rake tasks for build/archive/debug, bundler/motion gems and CocoaPods support, and test support (MacBacon/RSpec) plus storyboard loading. Missing runtime require/eval is deliberate; the build is static and licensed. Demo shows REPL edits a controller view live and debugging now uses gdb/IDE hooks.
