But I think that rb-readline is not good for Ruby standard library and I described it at http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-core/86213. The important reason for it personally is that rb-readline doesn't have vi mode. So I'm implementing Reline for a new standard library as GNU Readline and existing ext/readline compatible. I can maintain it. https://github.com/aycabta/reline I don't think that Reline should replace ext/readline fully, it's just for fallback. But it's important for Ruby. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
