Well, FWIW, in casting about for a better long-term framework for try-it, I
am intrigued by Komodo:

# The first IDE, called Komodo, will fully support Perl, Python and
# JavaScript. Komodo will use the Mozilla application framework and thus
# will have the benefit of being cross-platform and fully supportive of
# Windows and Linux amongst others. The Komodo IDE source code will be
# freely available and will leverage Internet standards such as XML,
# CSS, FTP, WebDAV, and SOAP. This will make it easy for users to extend
# the IDE as well as learn how a complex Mozilla application is built.

Did you catch this: "The Komodo IDE source code will be freely available
...."?

Another, longer description of Komodo is here:

Has anyone else made any (Ruby-related) inquiries about this yet?
