does rubymotion offer better performance and garbage collection than monotouch?
I am interested in both, and aside from the large price difference, IDE and debugger, can
I expect better memory management and speed from Rubymotion?
I think you should just use what is best for you.
If you know Ruby: use RubyMotion, Objective-C: use XCode, C#: use MonoTouch.
I don’t think it is worth it to measure the merits of one against another. I’m a C# Windows Dev, I use MonoTouch. I enjoy parsing XML in one line of code, using Linq, Lambda expressions, etc. so I am definitely going to want to use C#.
If you are used to Ruby for programming other projects, use RubyMotion. Although, RubyMotion is fairly new, so it might be less mature than using MonoTouch or plain XCode.
In my opinion, any performance hit incurred by using Ruby or C# over Obj-C is going to be negligible compared to the gains in productivity and ease of maintenance (or a lesser learning curve if you don’t know Objective-C).
