    There&amp;#39;s a Ruby gem with a two-letter name that keeps a server running in the background so you can run commands with no startup latency. Does anyone remember what it‘s called?

    I’m not going to be able to do open source for a little while apart from working on urgent security issues. Sorry 😔

    E Corp had the video that proved Ruby Central was full of shit taken down from YouTube. Here’s another link (not mine) that still seems to be available. http://gofile.me/6g3JG/oTY79Vk3b
