The future of ruby-debug

[Rafael]

Salve,

First things first: thanks for ruby-debug, it saved my ass more times
than I can remember :)

I'm going to talk about ruby-debug basics next week and I was thinking
"what if somebody asks me about the future of ruby-debug?", and I
decided to ask about that myself here. The question could be divided
as:

1- Is rb-treepanning the next generation ruby-debug for real or is it
just a test?
2- Are there initiatives to port/upgrade ruby-debug to Ruby 2.0 in the
future?
3- ruby-debug19 is here to stay or is it a transitioning tool?
4- what do you guys think about projects like pry-nav and pry-
stack_explorer?

I hope you don't mind this questions, but I'm really curious about
that.

Thanks very much,
Rafael

Dunno. I use it (or rbx-trepanning or rb8-trepanning) whenever I need a debugger for Ruby
 

2- Are there initiatives to port/upgrade ruby-debug to Ruby 2.0 in the

 There is a ruby debug project https://github.com/ruby-debug/  If you have a github account you could follow that.

3- ruby-debug19 is here to stay or is it a transitioning tool?

Dunno.

stack_explorer?

If it works for you, use it!

You don't ask, you don't learn!
 

Thanks very much,
Rafael
