I am very keen to know what Apple thinks about RubyMotion. It seems like a fine tool; but it's not typical Apple to allow external commercial vendor to influence it's core development environment.

Anyone from Apple, or anyone that gained the sense in events like WWDC, care to share?

Apple made it clear a few years back that any language that compiles to "normal" binaries is fine, after (at first) being completely restrictive about the tools you could use.

Their major remaining rule is that you can't build environments that download code from the internet and run it. (Except for Javascript, and you have to use JavaScriptCore (Apple-supplied) for that.)
