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)
I'm not really "using it", I'm just trying every now and then, and I keep encountering errors, hangups, and lack of functionality. Now I've tried ruby-lsp, and it just sits there on "Starting Ruby LSP...\n"
Couldn't even install Solargraph, once it errors out with 'Kernel#require': cannot load such file -- yard, other time it installs, but "solargraph scan" fails in runtime with "missing gem date" error.
Sorbet doesn't even work in VSCode, some bugs are over 5 years old.
But yeah, downvote my original post, because apparently all of the above is obviously my fault.
RubyMine was paid until recently, now it's free only for non-commercial use. It's also not really suitable for small scripting.
Historically, one insanely huge advantage of Ruby was that it was pre-installed on macOS'es, but I think they've stopped doing that since some macOS version.
