Great Ruby Apps/Libraries

Other then Rails, what do you think the greatest Ruby app/library/gem is?

What application are you looking for?
Do you mean 'greatest' as in innovative and fun or are you looking to stick
with web frameworks?

There are a lot of interesting ruby built software out there, but I am not
really sure what you are getting after.

Actually come to think of it, rspec is pretty rockin'. Also I like
sinatra, ffi, and rake does all right. I would include jruby since it
can wrap swt/swing, but you just asked for apps, and its load time is
poor :slight_smile:

Also popular is puppet.

This is hard to say because there are many small projects.

If I have to pick one for now, I will go with pry, simply because the
idea of being able to jump from object to object, inspect and manipulate
them, is a good one.

I haven't used it, but Metasploit sounds pretty cool. It's appears to me
mostly Ruby with some C.

I'm not getting after anything, really. I was just wondering what gems
other Rubyists think are awesome.

That last one must be flattery :wink: But I'll take it! Lord, knows there
isn't often a lot of reward in pure open source development.

To add to the list, an application that I think is really cool, though I
have never had the opportunity to use it, is Adhearsion
(http://adhearsion.com/\).

As gem my choice is Nokogiri. Since I'm not a heavy gems user I'd also
add Oniguruma to the list.

Kind regards
