Ruby Code Completion in TextMate

Tuesday, January 30th, 2007

For some reason, there has been very little fuss over the fact that TextMate now offers code completion for Ruby using the rcodetools gem. It is all still in svn, so you have to check it out manually.

Log for r6455

[NEW] The Ruby bundle now includes an rcodetools-backed completion command on option-escape.  This command is capable of very accurate completion for any accessible Ruby objects and methods, without needing to see you type it first (as TextMate’s default completion requires).

Javaforum in Stockholm Wrap Up

Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006

I spent yesterday evening at Javaforum. Ola Bini held a great presentation of JRuby that really showed what can be accomplished today and what we can expect in the future.

Ola is not only an über hacker, he is a great guy too. When asked what work is done with Ruby in Sweden today, he was kind enough to mention the work we’ve done at Valtech with Rails, which of course got him a well deserved beer later.

The guys from Interface 21 did a so-so job presenting Spring AOP. I might be biased as I have been in AOP-land and left it, but in my opinion their presentation skills were far better than the actual content.

During after-beer Ola and I discussed the state of Java and agreed that the greatest part of the Java platform is the JVM. It will most probably survive Java the language and be a platform for a multitude of languages. It was therefore funny to read Mike Bowlers blog post today about exactly the same thing.

All in all a good evening.

Kent Beck on Ruby

Wednesday, August 9th, 2006

Kent Beck on Ruby: “

I always knew one day Smalltalk would replace Java. I just didn’t know it would be called Ruby.
– Kent Beck
