I am pretty impressed so far. It has good support for Textmate bundles and works cross-platform. This was an important detail for me since I use OSX at home and Linux at work and it would be nice to use the same editor everywhere. I also like the fact that my editor is written in Ruby and is open source.
Using rvm, I was able to set it up pretty easily:
And then since I don't usually use jruby, I set up a quick bash function to call it:
From there I can just call
rc [dir]
from the command line and it opens the project.I did have one small issue with installing the ruby-shoulda bundle. The wiki says that if you put bundles in
~/.redcar/textmate/Bundles
and delete the cache, then they should show up. However, I wasn't able to get it to work unless I put in in the system bundle directory at: ~/.rvm/gems/jruby-1.5.1/gems/redcar-0.3.8.1/textmate/Bundles
I am pretty excited where they can take this project, and possibly even contribute to it in the future.
