Editor Support For Ruby

Ruby
1

I’m exploring the editor support for Ruby and I found that Visual Studio with Ruby Solargraph extension is the best for my needs so far…

Are there any other editors+plugins out there that should be considered? I will consider anything except Emacs… I just can’t muster the energy to grasp Emacs.

I wrote my own editor in Ruby (Gladiator) via Glimmer, but I wouldn’t advise you using it. It’s the Ugliest Text Editor Ever!™ It’s just a proof of concept and got the bare minimum features I need. That said, I use it for all my projects nowadays and am quite content with its limited set of features and idiosyncracies.

I guess my point is for you to write your own editor in Ruby too to answer your own question. May I suggest using Glimmer for that too? I’d be curious what others might come up with using it. I’m the author of that Ruby Desktop Development GUI Library by the way.

Cheers.
