Rubymine has it, so it can be done. Although you'd have a hard time supporting elements defined at runtime. I'd guess Ruby just has a smaller user base, and IDE support was added for tech that is the most popular among IDE users & stuff Facebook was interested in making a priority. Personally, when I program in Ruby, I don't like using an IDE.

Just started a new job at a Ruby shop and really wanted to use VS Code… but the plugins just aren't there. RubyMine is miles ahead of the free stuff right now. Maybe one day!

Can you elaborate? We're a Ruby via VSCode team. I fear I'm blissfully ignorant of the possibilities.
