I meant that the order of the keywords is only important when hitting Cocoa methods, but that's still unusual from a Ruby perspective (I agree, though, that it's a very clean way to go back and forth between Ruby and Obj-C syntax). @Matt — sorry, that was unclear of me.

A quick comment about MacRuby. MacRuby 0.4 doesn't run on SnowLeopard, you need to use MacRuby 0.5/trunk instead, nightly builds (pkg installers) are available at http://macruby.icoretech.org/ Also "Unlike regular Ruby, the order of the keyword arguments must match the Cocoa method selector." isn't entirely correct. MacRuby works just like C Ruby but it also supports Objective-C selector approach where foobar.foo(true bar:true, baz:true) calls a different method than foobar.foo(true baz:true, bar:true) Basically, it's an addendum to the language to support Cocoa. If you don't use Cocoa, then you don't need to worry about that. Great post. A quick comment about MacRuby.

Seguin Fri, 18 Sep 2009 17:48:56 +0000 http://www.pathf.com/blogs/?p=4047#comment-9766 Noel, Thank you for using rvm! Please keep me posted with any feedback or questions you may have. I'll be in #rvm on freenode IRC. Also, FYI the "install on use" is now 'opt-in' as many people didn't like that. You can simply set rvm_install_on_use=1 in your ~/.rvmrc and it should automatically try to install ruby versions that are not installed. Enjoy! ~Wayne Noel,
