[ruby-core:68946] [Ruby trunk - Feature #11084] [Open] Use rb-readline instead of ext/readline

Issue #11084 has been reported by Hiroshi SHIBATA.

----------------------------------------
Feature #11084: Use rb-readline instead of ext/readline
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/11084

* Author: Hiroshi SHIBATA
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: 
----------------------------------------
Users who want to build ruby needs to prepare readline library. 
Example for https://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build/wiki#suggested-build-environment

Preparation of building environment is hard for many users.

I propose to use rb-readline that it's pure ruby implementation of readline instead of ext/readline.

I'm neutral about this issue, but I wonder why you don't simply unbundle ext/readline instead of replacing it by rb-readline.

i don't know about, the binding/implementation using the C lib might be faster and have more features
so using a pure-ruby implementation might not a 100% good idea

[Eric Wong]

I doubt performance is problem for readline, but features/compatibility
might be...  I favor a pure-Ruby implementation if there's no
feature/compatibility regressions.

https://github.com/ConnorAtherton/rb-readline/blob/master/lib/rbreadline.rb is almost 9000 lines of Ruby code.
How fast does it load?
That seems important for command-line applications

[hsbt]

Issue #11084 has been updated by hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA).

Status changed from Assigned to Rejected

The last update of rb-readline is 2 years ago. I think we shouldn't replace it. 

And @aycabta try to create the readline alternative. If we replace readline to pure ruby implementation, we should use it.
