Are you considering a case that the IRB is unintentionally or wrongly called in `$ ruby` by users? Related to #17684, it might be a good idea to use the `irb` light weight version with `--disable-gems` or an equivalent thing to load a few things in `$ ruby` to solve your concern. ---------------------------------------- Feature #17859: Start IRB when running just `ruby` https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17859#change-91951 * 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:
