What Hacker News says?
Pry is indeed amazing. Don't miss the various extensions which are out there: http://banisterfiend.wordpress.com/2012/02/14/the-pry-ecosys... You can give it basic debugger stepping abilities, you can do remote sessions, you can have it automatically drop in a REPL before an exception, repair it, and carry on, it's amazing. Really shows off the power of ruby.
