So far I'm very happy with my Clojure/Emacs setup but failed to come even close to this experience when using Ruby. I tried the enhanced ruby mode (no syntax highlighting) and robe (which fails with a syntax error as soon as the console is started). I would really appreciate any tips where to find some proper guidelines on how to configure Emacs for Ruby.
BTW: I do not need any Rails support. Just plain Ruby support.
I find the following setup quite good:
()
, []
, {}
, do/end
, etc.AFAIK many rubyists are also using yasnippet. I've given up on trying to find a good "intelli-sense" alternative for Ruby in Emacs, but other than that I'd say the above setup is quite solid. It's pretty much what you'd get by using Prelude's Ruby module.
This isn't a real answer since I'm not a Ruby user but I am tied into the Emacs community and these things have shown up on my radar before
