Ruby has a great debugging story.

You just type "binding.pry" wherever you'd like to stop the application and in your terminal, it will open a Ruby shell where you can access the program state at that point in your code.

If I sorted debuggers I've used by how great they are, they would all be better than that ruby debugger, including visual basic 3 for windows 3.1.

Yeah when I hear great debugging story I’m thinking Smalltalk, not Ruby PRY.
