RubyMotion Goes 2.0 And Gets OSX Support, Templates and Plugins

Your header file is your interface and documentation to anyone using your code/class. Why wouldn't you want to declare your public interface there?

As for readability. Ruby is getting there but currently:

   - (void)employersWithCarrierID:(uint)carrierID withMaxReturnCount:(uint)count;

   [self employersWithCarrierID:123 withMaxReturnCount:10];

is a lot more readable and verbose than

   def employers (id, count)

   employer 123 10

Except in Ruby, you'd just as likely see named arguments too.

`employer carrier_id: 123, max_return_count: 10` is very much valid ruby.

Beyond that, RM has "real" named arguments based on the objective-C core.
