Try Ruby! is back

Thanks to Andrew McElroy, Try Ruby! is running again.

Source is available as well:

   http://github.com/Sophrinix/TryRuby/tree/master

May still need some love, so if you can help, pitch in.

I had never looked at this before but it is absolutely brill! Found a couple of things that don't work as they should so will have a go at sorting it out

  GitHub - Sophrinix/TryRuby: Try Ruby is a interactive shell that quickly and whimsically teaches the Ruby programming language. Originally _why's idea, it has been recreated from the ground up by Rubyists who have a passion for Ruby and for teaching their fellow (wo)man how to program.

Seems a bit slowish, or perhaps it is my memory (I could swear it
responded a lot faster in the past)

Anyway I think it should be linked to from official ruby homepage too
once it works, because I think it is a great way to showcase ruby to
newcomers (or help oldcomers get a remote calculator quickly!)

We've had it there before. I took it down because people complained about the dead link. Let's see how the restoration goes and then we can make that call.

It responds quickly enough, but seems completely broken for me. At least, when
I try to evaluate anything, the return value is a single sort of dark-brownish
space.

I see it's linked from Ruby Programming Language

Could it be given a Ruby URL, e.g. http://try.ruby-lang.org/ ? That
would make it easier to bookmark and allow it to move in future.

They reported it, but not until someone else thought it would be cute to
drop a rootkit in."
