ArachnoRuby, Komodo, Eclipse/RDT, R I've tried the following on Win XP TextPad + IRB My first staggering steps. Made some minor web pages in Rails. Inserted in the code. Bad experience after working with VB.NET for some years in Visual Studio. Realised I needed a good IDE and more Ruby knowledge. RadRails 0.4.1 I still don't know if it's debugger works or not. Not much functionality. Komodo 3.5.1 This is the one that starts the fan on my laptop. I'm writing this while I'm waiting for it hitting my first breakpoint. 100% CPU, amazing. 197 times slower than ArachnoRuby. It seems to be related to requiring library code. ArachnoRuby 0.6.5 Finally found the point where I don't need to search more. The debugging speed is similar to full execution speed. So much functionality. The debugger shows me all local variables, instance variables and self. And this in all stack frames! Other nice features: Local backup, Diff, Merge, Code templates, Electric braces, Code folding, Color coded syntax etc. The only thing I'm missing is "Go to Definition". Warning: it is completely without docs. But, I still love it! It's a perfect wrapper for a wonderful language! This is done by one german guy in Eiffel on Fox. And he is offering the same stuff for Perl, PHP and Python as well. It has the BMW feeling. Christer Nilsson -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
