Pry VS xonsh

that's surprising considering `pry`[1] is such an amazing debugger IMO.

All of my recent tutorials and projects were primarily managed using the default Ruby REPL, irb, and I must say it's been nothing short of amazing. However, what ultimately prompted me to switch to Pry was its offering of better defaults. But what exactly does that mean? Let me demonstrate:

For older versions: Pry Gem

To do that, I would install `pry` into your rails project and then use it look around right before your test fails.https://github.com/pry/pry

This means I can be editing a shell script and easily inject arbitrary regions into a shell buffer for immediate testing (point never leaves the window where I am editing, and I can view the shell output in an adjacent window). This is similar to what Robe does with Pry within an inferior Ruby process using comint.

https://pry.github.io/ - also a lot of features from Pry have made it into the default IRB these days, but I still use pry. I don't know the equivalent commands in IRB.

For debugging, while not multi-threaded, to my knowledge, is the pry gem for debugging. There are a few different flavors, for instance, my favorite is pry-byebug.

xonsh – Python-powered, cross-platform, Unix-gazing shell

You need to downgrade ptk version. Look here - https://github.com/xonsh/xonsh/issues/5241#issuecomment-1961...

Friends, I'm not saying that tools like zx are not good. I do like to write some scripts using js/ts. I believe pythoners prefer https://xon.sh/ . Perl is also attractive and interesting. Fish is friendly.

However, I still believe that posix-shell has its own advantages. The balance among size, code length, and expressiveness. I think the only possible competitors are tcl and perl, maybe lua.

Those of you who use (or used) this as your shell: care to share your experience?

It seems a lot less full-featured than https://xon.sh/, but maybe you don't need a lot of bells and whistles for regular usage. I mostly run build, execute, and install commands.

I'm somewhat enticed at the possibility of being able to wrap common executables into forms that are typed (like nushell or elvish) and manipulate them in a way that leverages the type checker.

In that case, is it even more similar to xonsh?
