Hi!
self -> What is main?
How can I get the actual context(scope) where I'm in?
How do I get the object out of the object_id ?
thank you

Hi!
self -> What is main?
main is self inside the top binding. Basically it's an instance of an Object.
How can I get the actual context(scope) where I'm in?
you can get a binding of this scope by calling `binding` in this particular scope.
How do I get the object out of the object_id ?
ObjectSpace._id2ref(object_id)
Though I'm quite sure this may be a private API.

What else?

I meant the name of that binding (like "object of class X", and its type
(method/proc/...)
( b.class == Binding ! )
Thank you!

Not much more can be said about it, sadly. You can get it from any point in code by executing `TOPLEVEL_BINDING.receiver`

Binding is not equivalent to "an object of class X". It refers to the state of the stack. Which contains local variable references and a `self` reference.

When you start a Ruby process with ruby or irb command you find yourself in the Toplevel. But what the heck is Toplevel? Well, let's start exploration:
❯ irb
irb(main):001:0> self
=> main
Okay, we know that self returns current object, but what's main which class it belongs to? Let's explore:
irb(main):002:0> self.class
=> Object
So, Toplevel is an instance of Object class.
This is the reason why you can call puts and other Kernel module methods. It's because Kernel included in Object by default:
irb(main):003:0> Object.included_modules
=> [Kernel]
