A few recent and recent-to-me Emacs and Ruby developments I'd mentioned at the ATLRUG meeting earlier this week:

• The project is in super-stealth, semi-private deep-alpha (shhh), but one Dan Debertin has done the near-impossible and released most of a Semantic Wisent parser for Ruby. Here's the initial announcement (as snarfed by gmane). M. Debertin appears to have since changed his URI scheme, but it's not too hard to find the project's current home. There's still some parts missing, but it's an excellent start. Alas, no news on the project since — I take the quietude of the ruby-emacs-dev list to indicate that I'm not the only one who's been busy with other things.
• mfp is up to version 0.5.0 of his rcodetools collection of Ruby <-> editor integration programs. The suite includes rct-complete for "100% accurate method/class/constant etc. completion" as well as vi and Emacs bindings for the same (and the other tools as well).
• The rcodetools Emacs bindings can use the icicles package, which I'm giving a whirl. Being able to look at the documentation for something I'm completing on is very useful, but most of icicles' other features seem to be a bit toward the bazooka-fly end of the problem-solving spectrum1.

Enjoy, peace, out.
