Hi everyone, I'm Chris Wanstrath.

When Jeremy asked me to come talk, I said yes.  Hell yes.  Immediately.  But
then I took a few moments and thought, Wait, why?  Why me?  What am I supposed
to say that's interesting?  Something about Ruby, perhaps.  Maybe the
future of it.  The future of something, at least.  That sounds
keynote-y.

How to Ruby Debug with Pow

Below are steps I followed to get ruby debugger ruby-debug running with Pow. Based on info from this thread basecamp/pow#43 and this blog post http://flochip.com/2011/04/13/running-pow-with-rdebug/

1) Update your Gemfile

Assuming you're writing your app in Ruby 1.9 and using Bundler, just add the dependency to your development gems:

if exists('$TMUX')
  let &t_SI = "\<Esc>Ptmux;\<Esc>\<Esc>]50;CursorShape=1\x7\<Esc>\\"
  let &t_EI = "\<Esc>Ptmux;\<Esc>\<Esc>]50;CursorShape=0\x7\<Esc>\\"
else
  let &t_SI = "\<Esc>]50;CursorShape=1\x7"
  let &t_EI = "\<Esc>]50;CursorShape=0\x7"
endif

ruby-1.9.3-p327 cumulative performance patch for rbenv

This installs a patched ruby 1.9.3-p327 with various performance improvements and a backported COW-friendly GC, all courtesy of funny-falcon.

Requirements

• rbenv
• ruby-build

You will also need a C Compiler. If you're on Linux, you probably already have one or know how to install one. On OS X, you should install XCode, and brew install autoconf using homebrew.
