RAD with ruby and Eric3 or KDevelop
by Richard Dale on Friday 30/Dec/2005, @03:26

Thanks for the positive comments about the ruby bindings. I'm looking forward to seeing what people will do with Korundum - it should be possible to write apps which couldn't be done at all in C++. For instance, dynamically accessing SOAP or REST services is much, much easier in ruby - that's one possible 'killer feature' for KDE ruby programming.

You can use QtRuby/Korundum with both the Eric3 (from 3.8 onwards), and Kdevelop. They both have graphical ruby debuggers and integrated support for Qt Designer .ui files to ruby code. The version of PyQt/PyKDE with KDE 3.5 has support for QScintilla ruby syntax highlighting which you need for ruby support with Eric3.

KDevelop has ruby KDE project templates which allow you to write 'proper' KDE apps, that can use resources like icons or .xml KDE gui files, and which you can start from the KDE menu.

Instead, why not make SOAP and REST service
much much easier to program in C++/Qt/KDElib =P

Just my 2 cents.
