Hi,
here comes the VERY VERY work in progress irb bundle. (It's only a clone of my my Rdaemon, but one should understand the workflow) If someone is interested, give me a hint.
Very/Merry-Big Congrats for this Hans-Jörg Bibiko,
a couple of month ago a thread about "command-completion" showed up where you and Thomas Allyot were pretty active. It's aim was to end up with a sort of universal-protocol for command-completion inside TextMate. At that time i tried to use the command-completion provided by the iPython-shell and make this usable inside TM. The iPython- shell belongs to THE tools for interactive work with Python and i guess similar can be said about irb-shell for Ruby. I have not published my 'framework' which was based on 'expect' at first and later on remote-object-lib and a tiny daemon-like extension for the shell. Though it works for me i found out that certain limitations will remain, as long as TM doesn't provide a sort of interface/ protocol for smart enhancements like these. Having this said, i truly welcome the tight integration of the irb- shell that you've presented here. I want to clearly point out that if this will remain the only scripting-language-integration, then maybe TM-Users who are not that much interested in the Ruby-Dialect but prefer Python, Perl, Lua ... - u name it - might be rethink their preferred editor.
just my 20c, merry christmas, andreas
