I had a little play with IRB. With some “easy” workarounds, plain Ruby
at least, I was able to get IRB in the right context. However, on
MacRuby (at least on 0.5), this doesn't work completely, as the
binding of a proc returns the wrong context:
% ruby -e "class Foo; def initialize; p eval('self', (proc
{}).binding); end; end; Foo.new"
#<Foo:0x29324>
% ruby19 -e "class Foo; def initialize; p eval('self', (proc
{}).binding); end; end; Foo.new"
#<Foo:0x3e7178>
% ./miniruby -e "class Foo; def initialize; p eval('self', (proc
{}).binding); end; end; Foo.new"
#<Proc:0x80004dfa0>
Anyways, the ccode is at: http://gist.github.com/131803
I haven't had any experience with IRB before, so I'm probably doing
some things wrong, but this was just some napkin code. Maybe Vincent
knows better how to get the right context setup and make exit/quit
work as continue.
Cheers,
Eloy

It's indeed a bit like script/console or merb -i
If HotConsole can be loaded when you run your app in "dev" mode, you
could easily introspect and interact with your code. Unfortunately,
that wouldn't give you breakpoints and you couldn't step through a
method call. But I believe Laurent has a plan for that. (he also has
plenty of plans;) )

Not being able to use ruby debug in MacRuby is something that used
to really bother me at first. I'm thinking about maybe hacking
hotconsole so you could run it in the context of your app. That
would obviously not be as nice a real debugger but that might be cool.
I'm not familiar with hotconsole. Would that be something like
script/console in Rails? That would be useful.
Also, thanks Eloy for your response. Good points.
