[MacRuby-devel] PBI - macirb as a console, debugger, etc.

[Laurent Sansonetti]

Hi Antonin,

Excellent work! Would you mind if the project ships with MacRuby, as a  
sample code?

We should perhaps customize it a little bit too, providing a way to  
change the font, and showing the console by default when the app  
starts. Also, maybe the console.rb file should be bundled with MacRuby  
in the standard library so that you can easily fire it up from a  
MacRuby app.
