If you want to have some clue about the current RAILS_ENV (because you need some sleep, or like me you have several terminal instances, with severals rails consoles), just add this to your ~/.irbrc file :

# Prompts
IRB.conf[:PROMPT][:CUSTOM] = {
 :PROMPT_N => "[#{ENV["RAILS_ENV"].capitalize}]>> ",
 :PROMPT_I => "[#{ENV["RAILS_ENV"].capitalize}]>> ",
 :PROMPT_S => nil,
 :PROMPT_C => "?> ",
 :RETURN => "=> %s\n"
}  

# Set default prompt
IRB.conf[:PROMPT_MODE] = :CUSTOM

You will end with a console like mine :

[Development]>> 1+1
=> 2

Enjoy !
