"Hello fellows. I'm in the process of submitting ruby-mode.el and inf-ruby.el to Emacs and ELPA. I've made some pretty wide-sweeping changes to inf-ruby.el to make it conform a little more closely to Emacs coding conventions, and I've made a few changes to ruby-mode.el as well..."

"...you can run Elisp (the Lisp interpreter Emacs is built on) programs from outside Emacs [...] This will make Emacs work like Perl or Python or Ruby or Bash—an interpreter that reads the rest of the program and executes the code..." -- nota bene: I love Emacs as a text editor!

"We've discussed before about wanting to include ruby-mode.el in Emacs 23, but getting the paperwork from the authors has been difficult [...] I'm going to the International Ruby Conference next week, and I'm likely to see them in person..."

Phil Hagelberg: "the Ruby developers have already offered it to be included in Emacs [...] It would make me very happy to get this in by the release of 23."

"I started playing with RoR and of course I use Emacs for this. The following describes setting up Emacs for RoR development."

"I've been reading lots of blogs and opinions about emacs the last few days. What strikes me is all of these people who brag about how large their .emacs files have become. So let me make this very clear: If your .emacs file is longer than a page YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG. Why?

"...Use the command M-x rdebug in GNU Emacs to start debugging. Give the executable file you want to debug as an argument. Make sure to use the version that comes with this package as this is newer than that supplied with GNU Emacs..."

"Emacs-22+ doesn't support Xft fonts, hence the look and feel of emacs on X-Windows is not that good. But development is going on to provide this feature in emacs. The emacs-unicode-2 branch for emacs has this feature, hopefully this will get integrated to emacs-23.

I followed the following steps to compile emacs unicode from CVS..."

"Many programs have start-up settings, which they read from a configuration file or from some database. Emacs is no exception: when it starts, it reads a file called ".emacs" from your home directory. However, the big difference is that .emacs does not consists of simple "key=value"-pairs. Instead, your .emacs is an Emacs-Lisp (elisp) program itself.
