  3. Pry Byebug

    Step-by-step debugging and stack navigation in Pry

    Project mention: Debugging in Ruby with pry-byebug | dev.to | 2024-05-22

    The setup is really simple. Just add the pry-byebug gem to your Gemfile, and then run bundle install. I'd advise you to add it to the development and test groups to debug tests as well.

  4. iruby

    Official gem repository: Ruby kernel for Jupyter/IPython Notebook

    Project mention: Surely you must be joking, Jupyter notebooks with Ruby [video] | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-02-15

  5. irb

    interactive Ruby

    Project mention: Standard ML idiosyncrasies | dev.to | 2025-03-23

    The REPL is not that helpful. I think I'm spoiled by utop, ghci, irb, and others.

  6. richat

    A powerful command-line ChatGPT tool

  7. evalgpt

    Ruby OpenAI client with support for generating code from prompts & running the generated code
