LSP VS steep

I saw no mention of RBS+Steep, the latter providing a LSP. I use it a lot and very much like it, although it's still young and needs love, but it's making good, steady progress! I've been very pleasantly surprised by some of the crazy things Steep can catch, completely statically!

You appear to be working on projects with Sorbet (which I tried to like but found it fell short in practice, notably outside of the app use case i.e it's mostly useless for gems) so it may be a tall order to try on those. Maybe you can give RBS+Steep a shot on some small project?

RBS: https://github.com/ruby/rbs

RBS collection (for those gems that don't ship RBS signatures in `sig`, integrates with bundler): https://github.com/ruby/gem_rbs_collection

Steep: https://github.com/soutaro/steep

VS Code: https://github.com/soutaro/steep-vscode

Sublime Text: https://github.com/sublimelsp/LSP

Vim (I'm working on it): https://github.com/dense-analysis/ale/pull/4671

Psalm - support for Psalm can be added via the LSP plugin. More information about it can be found in Psalm's documentation.

You obviously never tried the various LSP plugins for ST. It will give you the same intelllgent code tools as the jetbrains IDEs, which goes way beyond just syntax highlighting and linting and there's support for a lot of languages. https://lsp.sublimetext.io/

Add in this and you're golden: https://github.com/sublimelsp/LSP

https://github.com/sublimelsp/LSP with https://github.com/sublimelsp/LSP-typescript works pretty well for me. They are also both being actively maintained. It'd be nice if it was built-in, but it works well enough that I still have not found a compelling reason to switch to VSCode.

I really love sublime and it doesn't seem to be dead just yet. Sublime Text 4 was also a pretty great release.

I tried sublime this year now that it has an LSP (language server), along with the Go plugin. Maybe it would take more getting used to, but VSCode has done such a great job for coding in. Sublime's project view just wasn't as good either.

I really still like sublime for editing text or log files on my dev system, but not for development.

not a fan of that but there is https://github.com/sublimelsp/LSP/pull/1702

That's great, try it with SublimeLSP and gopls.

1. Lack of LSP: Since this new type check solution is quite new (at the time of writing), we don't have nice editor support via LSP. Things like steep will probably solve this in the future, but it's not a reliable solution now. On the other hand, Sorbet has existed for many years on the market and already provides a lot of tools for code intelligence, you can see more in this blog post.

https://github.com/soutaro/steep Also a type checker. This one uses rbs files. Not sure what subset of LSP features it supports either.

What type-checkers can use RBS? I find steep? Any others? Does anyone have a sense of how much use RBS is getting (and compared to Sorbet?) in the wild?

rbs collection feature integrates this repository and tools use RBS, such as rbs command, Steep, and TypeProf.

steep also can be run as a langserver, which is then used in the vscode plugin for type checking.

Once you have those in place, you use a tool called Steep, which is the official type checker "blessed" by the Ruby core team. Steep evaluates your code against your signature files and provides a printout of all the errors and warnings (similar to any other type checker, TypeScript and beyond).
