Is there a nice graphical console for Ruby?

I have been programming in Python for a long time. There is a wonderful Dreampie console for it . Not so long ago I started working with Ruby, and I really liked the language. But for all sorts of small tasks, I still use python, only because I could not find an analogue of Dreampie for Ruby. If someone does not know what it is and is friends with a python, be sure to put it.
My question to the Habra community is quite simple: is there an application similar in functionality. From the functions I can highlight the main ones for me:

  • Multiplatform - it is imperative that it works both at work on Windows + Linux, and at home, on Mac
  • Graphical interface - I don't really want a console application. Friendly work with copy/paste, text selection and other system integration is highly desirable
  • Autocomplete - because scripting and dynamic languages, I don’t see anything difficult in showing all available methods / variables beautifully
  • Syntax highlighting - where without it, the 21st century is on the street, after all
  • Multiline input - here is the strange killer feature of Dreampie. Input to the console can be done not by lines, but entirely by blocks of text. For example, copy a function from the IDE, make a few edits in it, and send the whole thing to the interpreter. Well, or copy the text over many lines, surround it with multiline quotes, and get the string in a variable

I really hope that ruby ​​also has such a convenient toolkit for small scripting or everyday tasks

I can suggest trying RubyMine, it's all there: www.jetbrains.com/ruby/webhelp/using-consoles.html .
It also supports launching the console under a debugger
