I agree about debuggers although I have not needed to use anything beyond the "inspect" method on a given object for what I use Ruby for. From what I can tell, Pry is supposed to be the debugger of choice when working with Ruby but I think that's in a Rails context. I haven't touched Rails in about 6 months but never used Pry for the 3 years that I have worked with Ruby on Rails. I think the documentation issue exists in any (dynamic) language; however, from what I can tell, statically typed languages have better support for this. The majority of libraries that I use with Ruby (Sinatra, Parallel) tend to have great documentation; however, it can be a mixed bag.
