Is anyone aware of a particular reason that making a ruby plugin would be difficult? Seems like it would be a lot like the python plugin.


Also -- for those interested in ruby -- basic syntax highlighting appears to be there already (I just downloaded the release and looked)...


The code highlighting comes from CodeMirror. Adding ruby support should be fairly simple. The python plugin (https://github.com/LightTable/Python) is only ~300 lines of cljs and ~750 lines of python and the cljs side shouldn't need too many changes.


That's exactly what I'm doing here:
