can you send code to pry from your editor? i looked it up but never found anything. i actually took a shot at implementing an nREPL server for ruby but all the editors make too many clojure assumptions.

> can you send code to pry from your editor? Honestly, I never really tried, and it's been quite a while since I last touched ruby. Being able to interact with a live system at a breakpoint was amazing enough to me at the time. The REPL was pretty nice from what I recall - much friendlier than irb or the builtin python one.

  Yes, it's possible with inf-ruby-mode in Emacs; C-x C-e at the end of a definition works the way it does for Clojure, though the actual REPL implementation in Emacs never feels seamless the way CIDER does (i.e. it generally requires fiddling around with various config settings whereas CIDER basically Just Works™; it feels more like GUD than a proper REPL).
