rstfilter VSCode extension for your new Ruby development experience

Today I released new VSCode extension Ruby's rstfilter extension.

This extension provides new Ruby development experience:

You can see the execution results line by line on the editor without launching a ruby command manually. You only need to start rstfilter command by Ctrl+Alt+S, and see the results of each lines and outputs on the bottom.

You can see the expression results by hovering the mouse pointer on the expression.

You don't need to write p/pp methods.
You don't need to use irb/pry REPL tools.
You only need to save the file and see the results immediately.

I hope it is useful for:

Ruby newbie who want to check the results frequently.
Test developers
Prototyping developers for apps/libs

For the libraries, the following traditional idiom can be used.

class XXX
   ...
end

if $0 == __FILE__
  # Try with XXX.
  # This test code will be ignored when the file is required.
end

Enjoy your Ruby programming!

Update: v0.0.2 changes the interface. Save doesn't kick the rstfilter but you need to run rstfilter explicitly by Ctrl+Alt+S. Please add Alt to your Ctrl-S saving :)
