RubyMotion is an implementation of the Ruby programming language that runs on iOS and OS X. RubyMotion is a commercial product created by Laurent Sansonetti for HipByte[1] and is based on MacRuby for OS X.[1]
RubyMotion uses Rake as its build and execution tool.[2] Programs execute in the iOS simulator alongside a read-eval-print loop (REPL) for interactive inspection and modification.[2] 3rd-party Objective-C libraries can be included in a RubyMotion project, either manually or by using a package manager such as CocoaPods. RubyMotion apps are statically compiled into machine code.
As of version 2.0, RubyMotion now supports the development of applications for OS X in addition of iOS.[3]
Examples of applications built in RubyMotion include 37signals's Basecamp for iPhone[4] and the Bandcamp iPhone app.[5]
