From ruby-talk, how to shut irb up:

In ~/.irbrc:

IRB.conf[:PROMPT][ IRB.conf[:PROMPT_MODE] ][:RETURN]='' 

Now irb won’t display the return value of the entered statement! Wonderful!

However, this does break Wirble’s colorize, as Wirble can’t colorize what doesn’t get displayed. But I can make a function called pc (for “p color”) which uses Wirble’s colorizing algorithm:

require 'wirble'

def pc(*ary)
  ary.each do |obj|
    puts Wirble::Colorize.colorize(obj.inspect)
  end
end

Edit: Fixed pc to work with multiple arguments.
