Iirb is actually a library and has more features. Iirb: * can set the prompt in a .irbrc file * can be nested (you can start a new irb session from within irb, even giving it a new target object to use as self) * as a library, irb can be incorporated into other projects
Irb is the REPL for MRI, it just happens that the current design of the DLR gives a REPL pretty easily, so ir.exe is also a REPL.

When no arguments are passed, they both start a REPL console only that iirb shows the time of each operation. Are there more differences?
