I wasn't sure what RubyMotion was. If you are also wondering, here's what Wikipedia [1] has to say:
RubyMotion is an IDE of the Ruby programming language that runs on iOS, OS X and Android. RubyMotion is an open-sourced commercial product created by Laurent Sansonetti for HipByte and is based on MacRuby for OS X. RubyMotion adapted and extended MacRuby to work on platforms beyond OS X.
RubyMotion apps execute in an iOS simulator alongside a read-eval-print loop (REPL) for interactive inspection and modification. 3rd-party Objective-C libraries can be included in a RubyMotion project, either manually or by using a package manager such as CocoaPods. Programs are statically compiled into machine code by use of Rake as its build and execution tool.
Title was great, article was great news. Y’all grouchy HN types need to lighten up and allow some fun.
As a Rubyist, this is exciting. Language I use is getting an improved LLVM compiler. Better tools that put native, non-Cordova mobile app development within my reach.

Title is way too dramatic.
Short version: some app creation tool group hired a few people.

The title is comically grandiose as far as I can tell. Which isn't easy b/c the text is rather verbose, and far too inside-basebally.
I was expecting some license changes or similar to be hidden between the lines. But it appears RubyMotion was commercial even before?
It's a paraphrased version of a quote often attributed to Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto after the Pearl Harbor attack.
Reading the title I was sure that China did something, and now all our base are belong to them.
"We are something Ruby related, and we did something with our business structure" was a real letdown.
