I really wanted to like Ruby, but the ecosystem is just... broken.
Comparing to Python, where virtualenv is de facto default, and pyls works by default, the experience with Ruby is not that great.
New website looks like a website for a startup project that will be closed in 2 years.
What is broken in your mind? What things did you have a "not that great" experience with? There are de facto standards and defaults in Ruby as well.
Well, for starters, I never got LSP to properly work with Ruby at the same level as other languages, i.e. so it's possible to browse the standard library.
Which LSP are you using? I'm using both solargraph and ruby-lsp and both works fine by me (in neovim).
Although those who really care about LSP support usually will use RubyMine IDE instead. Some of my colleagues are going that route, and they're mostly coming from Java (or similar background)
