FXIrb

Hi all,

FXIrb is intended to embed an IRB session into a FXRuby widget. It is
currently functionnal while still alpha.

I’ve set up a FXIrb page on the RubyGargen Wiki in case anyone would be
interested in commenting and/or improving it:

http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?FXIrb

Cheers,
_gilles.

Gilles, that looks great. I will definitely be using this!

How much work do you think it will take to add readline with the usual
IRB completion? I might give it a shot…

Thanks for doing this!

Very nice. I was thinking at one point of creating an IDE like Python’s
IDLE but using FXRuby instead of Tk.

I really don’t know. I can see two ways of doing this:

  • to emulate adequately a terminal so that IRB’s readline would be
    automatically active,
  • to wrap readline library to ruby and use it as an input to IRB.
    Any other idea ?
