[MacRuby-devel] MacRuby promise

[Nat Brown]

you are right, of course -- these two issues are orthogonal, I simply never
pass up a chance to rant about lack of debug support on the off chance that
everybody will up-vote this issue and we'll see it get fixed before another
5 years pass.
if you implement your suggestion, i will certainly try it -- i have a
similar simple jury-rigged editing/eval app which i use for writing ruby
scripts which is radically faster than copying and pasting
classes/functions from an editor into irb and re-running, and faster than
background running from e.g. vi or textmate, but it's not suitable for a
full app with resources, and your proposed solution would be.
thx, n@
