Which OS do you use with Ruby

Sergey Gotsulyak

Hello,

I'm from Russia, and Windows is most spreaded here.
But as I can see, in the U.S. (and Europe maybe) Mac OS are very
popular within Ruby developers. Am I right?

Which platform do you prefer to work with Ruby? OS and IDE, I mean. We
just now starting new web application on Ruby on Rails, so it very
interesting for us - which tools are "right" for this task :-)

P.S: We have strong experience in PHP, but this language is not
suitable for creative work :-)

I use Ruby on cygwin with Textpad and sometimes on Linux with vi(m).

Vim and GNU/Linux, mostly Gentoo. Ruby IDEs are still in the nascent
stage.

Hm, why you need cygwin?

I installed One Click Installer for Windows and it has all Ruby
components (interpreter, Gems and so one) that are native for Windows
environment.

So I see that many folks use Ruby on Linux. And I think that is
because of scripting nature of Ruby - do you use it for automatization
of your work, as many of Unix guru's use Perl, shell scripts, etc?

I tried to find well-known applications of "real world" such as any
kind of popular freeware or shareware and my attempts fails.

As I understand, Ruby novadays has two main use cases:

1. Scripting for maintanance routine day job, especcialy for unix
administrators

2. Web-applications, primarily written with Rails framework

So because this we have two camps now: administrators of Unix, which
use mainly Linux, and web-developers on Rails, which use Mac OS.

Am I wrong with this vision? It's only IMO of newbie, which has
experience only with shareware development on Windows :-)

Linux & VIM, with an home built Ruby.

OS/X & VIM would do, too.

Winodws & <whatever> is not an option...

Windows XP and RadRails!

I like RadRails because it's Eclipse and I'm used to Eclipse like I'm
coming from the good java programming world =)
But I think there are a lot of things qhich should be better in RadRails!

I've tried RadRails, but after splash screen it shows error dialog.

Oh!
No idea! That's rare! I think I can't help you! Maybe someone else here?

Did you install Suns Java JDK?
