Improving the Developer Experience with the Ruby LSP

摘要

Ruby has an explicit goal to make developers happy. Historically, working towards that goal mostly meant having rich syntax and being an expressive programming language—allowing developers to focus on business logic rather than appeasing the language’s rules.

Today, tooling has become a key part of this goal. Many modern languages, such as TypeScript and Rust, have rich and robust tooling to enhance the programming experience. That’s why we built the Ruby LSP, a new language server that makes coding in Ruby even better by providing extra Ruby features for any editor that has a client layer for the LSP. In this article, we’ll cover how we built the Ruby LSP, the features included within it, and how you can install it.
