Mac OS X Leopard and Ruby

Has anyone seen this yet from Apple:

"To open up the benefits of the Cocoa frameworks to a wider developer
audience, Leopard embraces two other highly dynamic languages for use in
building Cocoa applications: Ruby and Python. These two languages are an
excellent fit for integrating with the Cocoa frameworks, and they both
have high quality bridges to Objective-C. These bridges allow you to mix
and match Objective-C, Ruby, and Python, allowing you to choose the best
tool for the job at hand while using high level Cocoa features such as
Key-Value Coding (KVC) and Key-Value Observing (KVO)."

Sounds really interesting, anyone know anything more about this?

Well, one of the talks at RubyConf this year was from the Apple employee working on Ruby integration. It's true that Apple seems to be stepping up support.

Leopard will ship with Ruby (built as a framework it seems) and some add ons (Rails, libxml, and ruby/osa are some I believe). There was also a lot of talk about RubyCocoa, as you just quoted, yes.
