Seeing Is Believing
Evaluates Ruby code, recording the results of each line. Integrates with any extensible editor (I've integrated it with many already, see the list). If you like Swift Playgrounds, you'll like SiB.

Known Issues

Inspiration
- Xmpfilter, which is a part of the rcodetools gem.
- Bret Victor's completely inspiring talk Inventing on Principle.
- My 8th Light mentor, Doug Bradbury who asked me to make it for his Kids Ruby sessions (I don't think we ever finished integrating it, though >.<)
Shout outs
- Whitequark for all the work on Parser, which dramatically dramatically improved SiB (I used to have my own horribly shitty line-based parser)
- Travis CI... I love you times a million! So many difficult bugs have been caught by this. It's so easy to work with, astoundingly convenient, helps me guarantee that SiB works on everyone else's computers, too. And it's free since SiB is open source. I literally have a Travis CI sticker on my laptop, I love you that much.
