Show HN: Fuzzy Ruby Server – Go to Definition for Ruby (github.com/pheen)
2 points by dabears on July 28, 2023 | hide | past | favorite
Ruby language servers today are largely missing features like Go To Definition because most Ruby code lacks type definitions. Fuzzy Ruby Server accepts that uncertainty and creates a search index using what information is available as there is often enough to reliably match symbols.

I felt the need to create this tool as constantly grepping for patterns like "def some_method" is like hunting with a stone knife. It could be all you have, but it should be a last resort.
