Hmm, I wanted to try it out, but it uses DL which isn’t completely implemented under JRuby. What does it use DL for? - Charlie ---

It uses DL to access the line buffer in readline - something the stock ruby readline doesn’t allow for. CommandSet (the UI library that regexp-bench uses) provides a pretty sophisticated context sensitive tab completion that relies on knowing the whole line, rather than just the last word. How come you’re using JRuby? 🙂 Judson ---
