Should be possible. I've been able to bring ripl to the web via websockets, http://github.com/cldwalker/nirvana. > But trying to make IRB read from something else as STDIN is a real > nightmare and nearly impossible on a Windows system, not to mention > across platforms. > I'm interested.

It can also record a ripl session to be played back later. Feel free to contact me or open an issue on github if you need more help making a ripl plugin, Gabriel -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
