However I want to think that a discussion is a peaceful process to find a solution, fixing some frictions between us. In my humble opinion, the word "war" and a structure of A vs B might be not a proper metaphor in this case. It seems that @zverok's suggestion to use the lightweight version `irb` (like `$ python`) for `$ ruby` (STDIN is TTY) and continue to use the current `irb` (like `$ ipython`) is a inclusive solution. ---------------------------------------- Feature #17859: Start IRB when running just `ruby` https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17859#change-91946 * Author: deivid (David Rodr�guez) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- Compare python: ``` $ python Python 3.8.3 (default, Jul 8 2020, 16:49:12) [GCC 7.5.0] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> ``` To ruby: ``` $ ruby # just hangs ``` I think firing up a console it's a good default behaviour for beginners. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
