Two things:

1.  TextMate does ship with xmpfilter wrapped in a command, so it's  
already possible to evaluate statements and see the results, while  
keeping all the editing advantages of TextMate.  See Bundles -> Ruby - 
 > Execute and Update '# =>' Markers.

2.  I wrote an article about how to build interactive environments  
inside of TextMate.  The techniques used in it, could be used to make  
an "IRbMate."  It should be published next week on http:// 
www.macdevcenter.com/.
