It looks like development for the RadRails plugin for Eclipse has stalled and the key contributors are flat out working on a startup venture. Who can blame them we all need to eat. So the search for an alternative Windows Ruby\RailsIDE has started.

I’ve read a log about textmate/, the mac os editor and was curious why they never offered a Linux/Windows version. Well the power of textmate has come to windows with .e-texteditor.
I just downloaded it the demo version and first impressions are very positive indeed. Not enough there yet to move me from Eclipse but it is getting there.
You should take a look at it. [Less]

Back in 2001 when I first got started with Ruby, there were no IDEs for Ruby, so I decided that writing one would be a good way to learn Ruby. A few months later I joined forces with Rich Kilmer and we developed FreeRIDE–the only Ruby IDE that

is written in Ruby. But these days its a much different story as there is a veritable plethora of Ruby IDEs available as vendors almost fall over themselves to provide Ruby support.
Someone (if anyone knows who it is that wrote this blog entry, please post a comment) has published a very nice comparative review of three of the most popular IDE choices: IntelliJ IDEA, Sun’s NetBeans, and the Eclipse based RadRails/RDT. Here is his main feature comparison chart, go read the whole review for his qualitative assessment of these three IDEs. [Less]

Antonio Cangiano has provided a fascinating glimpse into the current state of the many VM implementations of Ruby. He has run a sizable set of benchmarks against seven different Ruby implementations: Ruby 1.8.5 on Linux Ruby 1.8.5 on
... [More]
Windows
Ruby 1.9 (Yarv/Rite) on Linux
JRuby on Linux
Gardens Point Ruby.NET on Windows
Rubinius on Linux
Cardinal on Linux
The graph above shows the averages and median scores, but the details are just as interesting. I also completely agree with Antonio’s caveats:
Don’t read too much into this and don’t draw any final conclusions. Each of these exciting projects have their own reason for being, as well as different pros and cons, which are not considered in this post. They each have a different level of stability and completeness. Furthermore, some of them haven’t been optimized for speed yet. Take this post for what it is: an interesting experiment;
The results may entirely change in the next 3, 6, 12 months… I’ll be back!
The scope of the benchmarks is limited because they can’t stress every single feature of each implementation. It’s just a sensible set of benchmarks that give us a general idea of where we are in terms of speed;
These tests were run on my machine, your mileage may vary; [Less]

This year’s first regional Ruby conference, the MountainWest RubyConf will be held March 16th and 17th in Salt Lake City, UT. It is accepting registrations until Feb 23rd. While it might be small in its geographical reach, it looks like a
... [More]
very big conference in almost every other way.
The keynote speaker at the conference is going to be Chad Fowler. From what he’s told me, his talk looks like everything you’d expect from a RubyConf organizer, respected Ruby and Rails trainer, published author, and jazz musician.
The conference has a great lineup of speakers too. These include: John Lam, Charles Nutter, James Britt, Ara T Howard, and several others.
As usual, the hallway track is perhaps the most important thing going, and we should have a great one. We already have people registered from California, Oregon, Illinois, and New York — not to mention the many locals from Utah, Idaho, Arizona, and Colorado. Oh, did I mention that we’re also going to have a powder track? This is Utah after all, and there should be great skiing and snow boarding both before and after the conference.
One of the most exciting features of the conference is that we’re also hosting the second Alternative Ruby Implementors’ Summit. We’ll have representatives from Sun and Microsoft, as well as individual contributors, representing: cardinal, JRuby, rubinius, and RubyCLR. Not only will these hackers be meeting together to work on common issues, but they’ll be presenting an Implementors’ Panel during the conference, to discuss their work and answer questions.
There are a lot of ways that this looks like a big conference, but there’s one more way it looks small — price. Registration is only $50, and that will get you: a day and a half of presentations, a cool conference T-shirt, and a great chance to hang out with some of the best and brightest rubyists from the mountain west, and around the country.

I’m pleased to announce a new Ruby Users Group for folks north of San Francisco (or who like to go to Sebastopol, CA): the North Bay Ruby Users Group. Our first meeting is this week; February 15th, 2007 at 7:00pm. O’Reilly has

graciously offered us a place to meet, so we’ll be holding the meetings at O’Reilly HQ in Sebastopol, CA (directions).
Meetings are on the third Thursday of each month. If you’re interested in learning more, please sign up for the mailing list.
Our first meeting will feature Keith Fahlgren and myself, kicking things off by discussing how O’Reilly uses Ruby to make good things happen.
Please RSVP on the mailing list so we know how much pizza to buy. We hope to see you there! [Less]

IntelliJ has posted a screencast demo of their Ruby plugin. It looks really nice! Even better… in the screencast they’re using my open source project, Instant Rails, to supply their instance of Ruby — cool!

Professors John Gough and Wayne Kelly at Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia, just announced the second release of their Ruby.NET compiler that statically compiles Ruby programs for the .NET CLR. Ruby is such a dynamic language
... [More]
that it hard for me to understand how they can even do this (an eWeek.com article last summer discussed some of the unique challenges).
The big news is that it successfully runs all 871 in Ruby’s installation test suite (in samples/test.rb). Their next goal is to get Ruby on Rails running:
We have just started work on getting Ruby on Rails to run on Ruby.NET and have started work on adding interoperability features to allow .NET programs written in other languages to conveniently use Ruby components and vice versa. We hope to include some of these features in the next public release.
Our plan now is to perform public releases more frequently, approximately once a month. Once we have stabalized the major design choices (including those required for interop) we will move to a more traditional open source type model where others can contribute directly to the code base. We expect this to happen in the second half of this year. [Less]

The CD Baby sponsored contest for RailsConf 2007 is complete! (Original announcement here and here.) The top 20 winners are posted at the Rails Hackfest 2007 Winners page on WorkingWithRails.com. But.. I want to point to the top 40
... [More]
winners for two reasons:
(1) - because everyone who contributed deserves a hell of a lot of credit for making Rails itself even better, even if they weren’t top-20.
(2) - because there’s a chance that not-everyone in the top 20 will be able to attend RailsConf 2007, even though we’re paying for registration and hotel. I’ve already pre-paid for 20 registrations and 20 hotel rooms, so for every person in the top 20 who tells me they can’t make it, I’ll go down to #21 on the list.
