Hi!
Is there any way you can connect to a running ruby process (for instance a
mongrel) and 'talk' to it like we can do in lisp using slime ?
For instance in you may connect to a running lisp image (like a hunchentoot
web server) and inspect variables as they get created and destroyed. I find
such a 'back-door'(if we may call it) very powerful. I remember there was
something called a breakpoint or debug built into rails. However that is not
what I am actually looking at.
