My Ruby projects often have a wrapper that reloads code and puts me in a pry prompt. I can edit code and introspect objects live as the code changes.
It's a natural extension of Ruby's Smalltalk legacy.
I recently replaced my X window manager with one I've written in Ruby, and I can just attach to it and modify state or change code live to test or fix things.
Being confined to JS and Java in VS Code for work is like having one arm tied behind my back.
