10 Things Java Should Steal from Ruby should be a nice read. I might have a separate entry about it. This entry, though, is about something I came across in the article – a Smalltalk refactoring browser. Yes, refactoring does not have to require static typing! Does it mean we can do it with Ruby, too? The answer turned out to be yes. Check out Ruby Refactoring Browser. It’s still in a really rough stage. It looks like that it can only be used with Emacs. But it’s promising. I hope more people will pay attention to this project. It will definitely attract more developers to Ruby and bring Ruby closer to enterprise world.
