pryd

Pryd is a term that can refer to several things, most commonly a type of dragon in Norse mythology or a programming language tool. In Norse mythology, a pryd is a fearsome serpent or dragon, often associated with destruction and chaos. These creatures are depicted as powerful adversaries, embodying primal forces of nature. The most famous example of a pryd in Norse mythology is Jörmungandr, the Midgard Serpent, who encircles the world.

In the context of programming, particularly Ruby, pryd is a misspelling or slang term for "pry." Pry is an interactive debugger for the Ruby programming language. It allows developers to inspect and modify the execution of their Ruby programs, set breakpoints, and examine variables. Pry is widely used by Ruby developers to understand and debug their code more effectively, offering a more powerful and flexible alternative to the standard Ruby debugger. It provides features like autocompletion, syntax highlighting, and a command-line interface that enhances the debugging experience.
