survey: what editor do you use to hack ruby?

[Daniel Berger]

As a follow-up on the other people mentioning (g)vim: I think it should
be pointed out that you can embed a ruby interpreter in (g)vim and then
program the editor with ruby or run ruby code right from within vim.

Directions please.

#: by stevetuckner's words the mind was *winged* :#

On Windows I use a non-free editor called Source Insight. I defined my
own language definition file and will send it to anyone that is
interested. What it offers is a nice symbol database, a overview of each
file on the left side of each source window that shows just the symbol
definitions in that file (and those can be incrementally searched to get
to a function or class definition quickly), and a way to parse output
after running a process so that they are linked up to the source line
where the error occured or a trace was put out. I also use it for all my
C work as well and it works well for that.

It would be just great .

The latest versions of GVIM have ruby built in. To see if it is there,
just do:

1. type :
2. type ruby puts "hello"
3. you should see hello printed out
4. then do help ruby to see all the stuff you can do.

I've been having a tough time getting emacs set up properly with ruby
which led me to look for a different IDE to use. Which led me to ownder:
what editors/IDEs do most ruby users use?

I personally use FreeRIDE or SciTE when in Windows. On FreeBSD and
Linux I just use a standard text editor like vi or whatever's
available. Question. Have any of y'all used WideStudio? This is a
rather large package available on SourceForge that installs Ruby,
Python, and Perl within its environment. It looks rather promising but
I haven't had time to delve into it...

 

[Alan Chen]

Emacs and sometimes SciTe

irb mostly. When I need it to persist, I usually use vim in one
terminal and irb in another. Nothing beats REPL.

I see that boxer Is listed. the only thing that makes it 'ruby-aware'
is the syntax file (it happens to be your truly that submitted that
file

komodo is missing. it was designed for perl/tcl/python, but it will
syntax highlight and fold ruby code.

It's a wiki

Not on point to this particular reply, but I haven't noticed anyone mention
the best editor--nedit. ;-)

Type :version<cr> or to get some information about the activated
features. If there is a +ruby somewhere you're fine. (Or type :echo
has('ruby')<cr>.) If the feature list includes +ruby/dyn the ruby
interpreter is loaded on demand, which requires a suitable ruby library
to be installed. On windows, this currently means that msvcrt-ruby18.dll
has to be around some place in the path. Then check out the help on ruby
support: :help ruby<cr>

HTH,
Thomas.

 

[Tom Nakamura]

Vile (Vi-like Emacs), Vim if Vile not avaliable.
Anyone know any full featured (ruby) IDE's with a decent vi mode? I'm
incapable of writing code otherwise :-|

Just yesterday I realized that this actually works on my Windows 2000
machine, and even without the newest versions: Vim 6.3b and the Windows
Ruby Installer 1.8.1-13.

Emacs before, but I use KDevelop for one month now.

I use SciTE in Linux + Windows, with some heavy configuration
(attached). Especially the default fonts in Linux now look much better,
and some other stuff like additional hotkeys (Alt+Left, Alt+Right to
switch to the left/right tab, ...)

I have also created some abbreviations, e.g. when one types 'test' and
then Ctrl+B, scite automatically adds code for a test class and moves
the cursor to the correct place to fill in the rest of the test class.

Both files should be copied to home directory. Restart scite, and happy
coding

I recently switched from jedit to kdevelop-3.2.

It's supposed to be able to debug, etc.. But I've never managed to get that
working..

But as an editor I'm happy with it.

Has anyone gotten .rhtml syntax highlighting going on Eclipse RDT??

Sweet. I didn't know such a thing existed. Is it mature?

That's nothing!

I use klh10 to emulate a PDP10 to run ITS, and then hack my Ruby with
TECO... that is, if I don't print it out, use Tippex, write over it
and then scan and OCR it again.

You guys are all wimps.
Real programmers don't use editors (or printers or scanners).
The command line is all that you need:

ruby -e '
<your_1000_line_ruby_app_here>
'

The command line is all that you need:

I prefer just writing

It fits well with my new software-design philosophy: “write once, run onceâ€,
