In the presentation titled "The future of Ruby is in motion!" at RubyKaigi 2015, speaker Laurent Sansonetti introduces RubyMotion, a toolchain that facilitates writing cross-platform applications using the Ruby programming language. The talk covers several key aspects of RubyMotion, highlighted as follows: - **Introduction to RubyMotion**: Laurent provides a brief background about himself, his experience in programming, and the founding of RubyMotion to help developers create native applications using Ruby for both iOS and Android platforms. - **Simplified Development Process**: He emphasizes that RubyMotion allows Ruby developers to build native apps without needing to learn different languages or switch between various Integrated Development Environments (IDEs), thereby unifying the development experience. - **Unified Runtimes**: The toolchain introduces unified runtimes that let Ruby objects behave like Objective-C or Java objects, eliminating bridging and making development more efficient. - **Static Compilation**: Laurent discusses static compilation of Ruby scripts into native executable code using LLVM, enhancing performance by directly executing on devices. - **Cross-Platform Support**: He elaborates on RubyMotion's features, including support for the development of applications for emerging platforms such as Apple Watch and Apple TV. - **Game Development**: The presentation showcases RubyMotion Game, a project designed for cross-platform game development using existing frameworks like Cocos2D, which allows for building games efficiently on multiple platforms. - **Live Demos**: Throughout the presentation, Laurent offers live demos, including the creation of a simple game titled 'Flappy Sushi', demonstrating the ease of game development with RubyMotion. - **Open Source Future**: Near the conclusion, he shares that RubyMotion will soon be released as open-source software, inviting developers to engage with the community. Overall, the presentation illustrates the capabilities of RubyMotion in simplifying cross-platform mobile app and game development while emphasizing the ease and efficiency for Ruby developers. The session ends with an encouragement to explore RubyMotion's features and capabilities for modern app development.
