    I think one of the most interesting things to happen to IRB is the recent introduction of static type completion[1].

    The fact that this is a nice, mainstream, usage of RBS types in the standard library gives me hope that RBS or some kind of inline[2] version of it will become much more common in future.

    2. The new Prism parser makes it much easier to extract an execute comments so I would be surprised if no one has thought of using that to annotate code with RBS types.

  • IRB's Built-In Measure

    Starting in ruby 2.6, irb is a gem bundled with ruby, so you can upgrade to the latest version in older rubies: https://github.com/ruby/irb#installation

    irb is now a bundled gem, so you can update it without having to update the whole ruby or install RVM. gem update irb
  • Q: suggestions in irb/rails console, where are they coming from?
    3 projects | /r/ruby | 12 Jan 2022
    I guess it's just not very well refined yes. Best might be to lock it to gem "irb", "< 1.4" in your Gemfile for the time being, and maybe report your feedback to https://github.com/ruby/irb

    Yet it does not work exactly the way you might expect in IRB, because it’s explicitly configured to return the last used value in the Ruby console
