Ruby

Today I was in a Pry session, and I wanted to visualize something with Awesome Print. I didn't have Awesome Print installed in the version of Ruby I was using, so requiring it wasn't possible. However Ruby is a dynamic language, and it let me install the gem and require it without closing my session or loosing any work. Check out the console commands and output below.

[19] pry(main)> require 'ap'
LoadError: cannot load such file -- ap
from /usr/local/opt/rbenv/versions/2.1.0/lib/ruby/2.1.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require'

Ruby is awesome!
