>Description:
"/usr/local/bin/ruby" that pkg-message recommends (probably taken from an older version of inf-ruby.el) as ruby-program-name doesn't work well for interactive programming. The ruby executable just runs the code it gets inside the Inferior Ruby buffer until EOF and then exits. The default that inf-ruby.el sets to ("irb --inf-ruby-mode") works much better (like a REPL). There's no need to set it in ~/.emacs. This way people who just copy/paste stuff from pkg-message won't think ruby-mode is "broken".
