RubyEvents Guides is now live. Over the last few months, I talked to Rubyists who want to help the community keep going. Some want to restart a local meetup. Some are organizing their first small conference. Some already run events and want to make the next one better.
The Ruby Developer Experience team at Shopify has just launched Rubydex, a building block for indexing and (semantically) querying your Ruby codebases. @vinistock.bsky.social has a write up explaining what it is and how it works here: railsatscale.com/2026-05-12-o...
One engine, many tools — Introducing Rubydex
Introducing Rubydex — a portable static analysis engine powering Ruby LSP, Tapioca, Packwerk, and more. One foundation, compounding benefits for the whole ecosystem.

Managed to get Ruby LSP code lenses working in @zed.dev ! :)
Vitaly Slobodin@vitallium.bsky.social · 3mo agoUnfortunately, Ruby LSP code lenses won’t work due to technical limitations.
At the end of day 2 RubyKaigi, I'll share what's coming in RDoc 8.0 (new parser, server mode, and RBS!), and why Ruby documentation has to work for AI too. #rubykaigi rubykaigi.org/2026/present...

First Ruby LSP beta got released with partial migration to Rubydex 👀 github.com/Shopify/ruby... Indexing our Rails application (+ dependencies) currently takes 12s with Ruby LSP's internal indexer. Rubydex does it in 2s 💯 And I think it's even doing more work.

Ruby LSP is now an official Claude Code plugin. With it, Claude queries the language server directly - same as your editor does. Without it, Claude reads the file and tries to extract the structure manually.
This is a huge release for TruffleRuby. It’s our first under our new org. If you’ve been hesitant about contributing because of the CLA, please note that we no longer have one. We can also release more frequently so please report bugs or open PRs.
TruffleRuby@truffleruby.dev · 7mo agoTruffleRuby kicks off the year with a new website, a new release, and a blog post to go with it! 🎉 truffleruby.dev/blog/truffle... Many changes: * New versioning * Thread-safe Hash * No system dependencies anymore * Installs in 2 seconds * Development is now fully in the open
Ruby has a new moving GC. I just merged moving Immix in the MMTk Ruby binding. This is exciting as its the first GC that dynamically detects fragmentation in the heap and performs defragmentation. Performance isn't too great yet but I'm working on it! github.com/ruby/ruby/pu...

This commit implements moving Immix in MMTk, which allows objects to move in the GC. The performance of this implementation is not yet amazing. It is very similar to non-moving Immix in many of the...

Ruby’s documentation gets a fresh look. Starting with RDoc 7.0.0, Aliki is the new default theme—bringing dark mode, better search, and a modern layout to docs.ruby-lang.org and gem documentation.

Ever forget whether it's "change_table" or "alter_table", "remove_column" or "drop_column", "set_column_null" or "change_column_null"? You don't? Well, I do 😄 So, I thought it would be cool if Ruby LSP could autocomplete schema statements in migrations ✨ github.com/Shopify/ruby...

Herb v0.5.0 is here! 🌿 Lots of fixes & improvements, plus a new `--github` flag so the Linter can annotate the offenses right on GitHub in the pull request! Plenty more is cooking, which wasn't quite ready for prime time yet 👀
Beyond performance work, I deprecated a bunch of APis in the JSON gem, and added others, so I figured it would be a good occasion to talk about API design: byroot.github.io/ruby/json/20...
What’s wrong with the JSON gem API?
As I mentioned at the start of my Optimizing Ruby’s JSON series of posts, performance isn’t why I candidated to be the new gem’s maintainer.

So it turns out all that is needed to support RBS and ruby-lsp on JRuby is for someone to write an FFI binding to the new "pure C" RBS parser! I challenge y'all to make that happen this week. So exciting to get these key Ruby tools working on JRuby! github.com/Shopify/ruby...
