Hi all --

I originally sent this to ruby-core but had suggestions that I mail it to
ruby-talk as well.  So, here it goes:

After developing in Java for years in IDEs I'm starving for a decent ruby
debugger.  When learning new codebasesI find it invaluable to use the
debugger to step through the system and see how things work at runtime.
Using RDT in Eclipse is fine but it's excruciating to wait minutes for the
default debugger to finally reach my breakpoints on tests that normally tak=
e
seconds to run.

Does anyone have for either speeding up the debugger or dropping in a faste=
r
version?

I've tried to profile debug.rb by adding "require 'profile'" to it but all
of the time shows up in the "#toplevel" element, so advice on deconstructin=
g
that into something meaningful would be great, too.

Thanks,

-- Joe
