As someone who has used lisp, emacs, and slime in the past, I get
incredible frustrated with having to write ruby code. I do not find the
language to be that bad, but the development environments just don’t
compare.
My current setup is emacs, ruby-mode, and inf-ruby. I wish inf-ruby did
more. It would be nice if irb tab completion worked in inf-ruby, and if
this could somehow be piped to emacs and ruby-mode to get real tab
completion in emacs.
Does anyone have some ideas about how to go about doing this?
I think one way might be to adapt slime to ruby. As far as I know, this
involves writing a swank like backend for ruby, and making some changes
to the emacs frontend.

I believe netbeans has auto-completion. Anybody else know of one?
The redcar editor has TextMate-like completion, as well.

I’ve used Netbeans as well and really like it. However, I’m in love
with
RubyMine (RubyMine: The Ruby on Rails IDE by JetBrains). Great support for Ruby, RoR,
Git,
js, HTML, CSS, and more!
Best,
Spencer

I have never tried it, but the video was cool:

You may want to try inf-ruby-bond(GitHub - pd/inf-ruby-bond: bond completion support for emacs' inf-ruby)
which is based on bond( GitHub - cldwalker/bond: Mission: Easy custom autocompletion for arguments, methods and beyond. Accomplished for irb and any other readline-like console environments.) a much
improved version of irb’s completion.
I don’t use emacs so I can’t vouch for inf-ruby-bond but I did write
bond.
