Hmm, I wanted to try it out, but it uses DL which isn't completely implemented under JRuby. What does it use DL for?

It uses DL to access the line buffer in readline - something the stock
ruby readline doesn't allow for. CommandSet (the UI library that
regexp-bench uses) provides a pretty sophisticated context sensitive
tab completion that relies on knowing the whole line, rather than just
the last word.

How come you're using JRuby? :slight_smile:
