I am new to Ruby, but I have used a lot of other
programming languages including Python, Ada, C++,
Java, etc.

I downloaded Ruby to my Windows machine and installed
it by executing the self-install file (a .exe).   An IDE that
came with it, FreeRide, does not seem to work at all.  The
editor, SciTE seems pretty useless.

Is there an IDE that actually works that one can use to
develop and compile Ruby.   I am guessing there is since
so many people are using it.

Thanks in advance,

Richard Riehle
