> MacRuby will be eligible for iOS apps soon, as the GC problem is solved

If I didn't miss any recent developments, that was a misunderstanding from when ARC was leaked as iOS5 having "GC", then it turned out that it was actually compiler-supported reference counting. Which means that MacRuby is still stuck on iOS and doomed on OS X, with some people expecting the GC to be deprecated sooner or later.

With the current App Store rules, I don't see why Matz' C Ruby with 'dl' disabled wouldn't be eligible.
