Time to check in...

We're back in another round putting more work into the Ruby
side of Komodo.  I just redid the debugger -- it's now built on
top of Kent Sibelev's ruby-debug module (http://rubyforge.org/projects/
ruby-debug/)
and works way faster.  About 50 times faster on average.
I'm surprised no one here pointed out how slow the old one was.
Thank you.

As for the code-completion, I haven't been able to check out
Sapphire yet.  We got out of the Visual Studio plug-in
game a couple of years ago (http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?
sid=05/12/15/2112237),
and I haven't bothered to install VS 2005 since then.  Full
code-completion is tough, but we try with the same kind of
on-the-fly code analysis Huw was talking about.  I have to
admit that the VS API was designed to deliver results very
quickly in response to code changes.

Sorry this is more plug than informative.  FWIW I use Komodo,
VS.Net 7.1 for C++ debugging, some emacs, some vi/vim, and
of course cat.
