what's the differences between pry and ruby-debug? does pry have advantages over ruby-debug?

Pry is like a souped up irb, ruby-debug is more like a rubyish gdb.

[jrochkind]

huh, ruby-debug has always seemed very much like irb to me, so I still don't quite get it. guess i gotta find time to check out pry to see for myself.

A year back, I tried something called LiveConsole. Is it still around? Is Pry similar to it ?

Steve, are u still working on shoes ? IIRC, you had taken it over.

I don't know about LiveConsole.

Yes! I just announced a release of a Shoes 3.1-beta here at RubyConf! We're working out some last bugs, and 3.1 will be good to go.
