Shopify's ruby-lsp and associated vscode-ruby-lsp are recommended alternatives to this extension. It is substantially easier to produce a high-quality LSP implementation using Ruby itself vs relying on another language such as TypeScript.

In addition, sponsorship of a project by a company like Shopify could help to ensure a high-quality developer experience going forward. Even with multiple people helping on this project, keeping up with Microsoft's development of VSCode plus the wide array of Ruby community tooling is a tall undertaking.

As of 4/2/2023, the VSCode extensions are not marked deprecated. They will be within the next few weeks.

This is the monorepo for the Visual Studio Code Ruby extensions.

Head on over to the Ruby extension README to get started!

• vscode-ruby - extension providing syntax highlighting, language configuration, and snippets for Ruby
• vscode-ruby-client - extension logic including the language server client
• vscode-ruby-common - common utilities that are shared among several other packages (eg environment detection)
• vscode-ruby-debugger - implementation of the debugger
• language-server-ruby - language server implementation
