Any interest in a better debugger than ruby-debug for MacRuby?
Is there interest in funding someone to work on a better debugger than ruby-debug MacRuby? Over the last decade or so, I've been writing debuggers as a work-related hobby. I'm looking for work, and I thought maybe I should try to do something related to debuggers. I currently maintain ruby-debug but have rewritten that for Rubinius and a patched version of YARV 1.9.2. If anyone's interested, please contact me privately for my resume and more details.
Hi Rocky, I don't know if you are aware of that, but MacRuby has its own debugger: macrubyc. It does miss a nice UI and Xcode integration but it works quite well, if you were to be contracted out to work on a debugger, you might want to start there. - Matt On Tue, Feb 15, 2011 at 3:10 PM, Rocky Bernstein <rockyb@rubyforge.org>wrote:

I've seen http://ruby5.envylabs.com/episodes/46-episode-44-january-22-2010/stories/355... I would imagine Xcode integeration very important. As for a nice UI, most of the existing IDEs work in a process outside of the debugged program. In fact they can often work on a machine different from the debugged program. And for this they use some sort of protocol to connect and talk to to the debugged program. So the thought here would be to use one or more of these. Alas there is not consensus on using a standard protocol yet such as HTTP for web services for communicating with a debugged program. But because of this, ruby-debug and the trepanning debuggers have an "interface" class.
