similar to: Why is there no Smalltalk-like IDE for Ruby?

Before I get flamed, I just want to start off by saying that I am new to Ruby and I really enjoy this language and want to see it succeed. But, what niche does this language fill? These are serious question, not a put down of the language. Does it has something to offer for Web 2.0? Is it just another scripting language? Does it suppose to replace something else?

After developing in Java for years in IDEs I''m starving for a decent ruby debugger. When learning new codebasesI find it invaluable to use the debugger to step through the system and see how things work at runtime. Using RDT in Eclipse is fine but it''s excruciating to wait minutes for the default debugger to finally reach my breakpoints on tests that normally take seconds to

Hi All, I generate a pdf report that contains a table. The report is 14 pages, and it takes 20s to be rendered. Most of these 20s are spend in the render_on method. I wonder if it is possible to speed up that process? To create the report, I do the following: 1) Setup pdf layout: # Setup pdf layout pdf.select_font("Helvetica", { :encoding => "WinAnsiEncoding"})

In a new app we are developing, we need to be able to dynamically create a PDF and send it to the browser (inline with send_data). I have been tinkering with PDF::Writer and love the simplicity and native ruby-ness of it all. However, one of the main uses for this functionality is to output a PDF of addresses to be printed on Avery 5161 labels. LaTex seems to be suited well for this, but it

I am trying to use an OCRB font in pdf::writer. So, I managed to install the font on a debian linux. The first line in OCR font is appearing on the pdf, but I get an error-message: "The font ''OCRBLT'' contains a bad /BBox". Someone ever had this problem? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Greetings, I am curious, I see quite a few references to using TextMate for rails development. I downloaded TextMate and used it for 30 days. I do not see what everyone is raving about. Snipplets are nice, but other editors do the same thing, some with much more power. Can anyone tell me what makes people draw to TextMate? Maybe I am missing the whole reason, I''d really like to
