It now seems to be “official” that Ruby will come by default with the next iteration of MacOSX.
Well that’s what I understand whean reading this: “Finally, you can change bin/sh to bash and use python and ruby to create and run cross-platform scripts.” at this url:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/jaguar/unix.html
Spiffy.

Also there is this reference in 10.2 Server Web Services Page
(http://www.apple.com/server/web.html):
Server-Side authoring support
MySQl Manager. Mac OS X Server now supports Ruby , a simple and powerful
object-oriented programming language along the veins of Perl, as well as the
web-based services protocols SOAP and XML-RPC. Adding dynamic content to
your web site such as auctions, chat and discussion boards, counters,
database management, postcards or stock quotes has never been easier. Mac OS
X Server also includes built-in support for Perl, UNIX scripts and
AppleScript CGIs. Or you can combine PHP and MySQL to deploy web solutions
and middleware applications. Included Apache modules offer Sherlock search
and relevancy ranking, directory service authentication support and
MacBinary encoding of file requests.

Great news! Except who would want to change bin/sh to bash?

Hmmm, I thought something like this might in the works. There was
incredible interest in Ruby during my last presentation at Apple.

I think I’m going to try OSX when ruby comes with it. And it seems they
are adding all the other missing tools and apps that make OSX a little
limited as a *nix.

Along these lines, does anyone know when RedHat, Debian, and SuSE will do the same?

PS. I guess that means I’ll have to switch to OSX

Can you provide any details? Was this an Objective C talk or a Ruby talk?
Seems like there was a thread here about a year ago where someone
mentioned that Ruby was being considered by Apple as the ‘official’ (or
de-facto, or something like that) scripting language for OSX.

I think RedHat does. It might be an optional package. I could be wrong
though.

Well, Debian has been shipping ruby for quite some time.
potato has 1.4
woody has 1.6 & 1.7
sid also does.
So, since potato was released 2 years ago (wow, has it been that long?
:), Debian’s been shipping ruby for 2 years now.
With woody’s (upcoming) release, we’ll even have a recent version
available in the stable debian release.

I don’t think OSX is too limited. They have 3000 of the 5000 ports applications
now running on OSX. I am a freebsd person and recently bought 2 macs.
I like my macs, but still do most of my development (via ssh)
on my freebsd machine.

Neither. A digital property talk, trying to instigate an Apple
response to M$'s Palladium.
