Ramblings like this are a premier example of what is wrong with engineers today. If you are afraid to learn or use tools outside of ruby, you are not a true engineer. The world does not revolve around ruby.

Get some real iOS development under your belt before you make these broad assumptions.

Agreed. I'm sure obj-c is horrible if you keep expecting it to be like Ruby... people need to embrace the idioms and syntax of the language they're actually using.

After using it for almost a year, I find obj-c really nice now. But that was only after I got out of the C/C++ mindset and more into obj-c mindset.

Last time I checked engineering was about producing solid and creative results in smart ways.

If using Ruby for a developer to produce the same result is more productive, then not using Ruby Motion would be a crime against "true" engineering.
