Mon, 15 Nov 2010 15:07:45 -0500

Ruby Interactive Print Loop - A light, modular alternative to irb:

ripl is a light, modular alternative to irb. Like irb, it loads ~/.irbrc, has autocompletion and keeps history in ~/.irb_history. Unlike irb, it is highly customizable via plugins and supports commands. This customizability makes it easy to build custom shells (i.e. for a gem or application) and complex shells (i.e. for the web).
