As for a nice UI, most of the existing IDEs work in a process outside of the debugged program. In fact they can often work on a machine different from the debugged program. And for this they use some sort of protocol to connect and talk to to the debugged program. So the thought here would be to use one or more of these. Alas there is not consensus on using a standard protocol yet such as HTTP for web services for communicating with a debugged program. But because of this, ruby-debug and the trepanning debuggers have an "interface" class. > > > On Tue, Feb 15, 2011 at 3:10 PM, Rocky Bernstein <roc...@rubyforge.org>wrote: > >> Is there interest in funding someone to work on a better debugger than >> ruby-debug MacRuby? >> >> Over the last decade or so, I've been writing debuggers as a work-related >> hobby.
