Sourcegraph CEO here. Happy to answer any questions.
Sourcegraph is code search and intelligence across all your code, integrated with your code host (even giving you IDE-like hovers, definitions, references, etc., when viewing code files and diffs on GitHub/etc.).
One of the things we see is that basically 100% of devs at Google and Facebook use those companies' internal Sourcegraph-like tools for code search/intelligence, and it makes them a lot happier and more productive as devs. We think 100% of devs at every company should have amazing code search and intelligence.
For Ruby, we haven't investigated the situation in a few months. Last time, we checked out https://github.com/mtsmfm/language_server-ruby but it was not far enough along. We maintain a table of language servers at http://langserver.org/, and once they have support for hovers, definitions, and references, we begin to plan to integrate them. We'll be releasing a roadmap for Sourcegraph language support soon with a lot more docs for how to integrate existing language servers, too.

In addition to the things mentioned in the announcement, we've been making steady improvements to code intelligence. Check out https://about.sourcegraph.com/docs/code-intelligence.

We also have symbol support for Ruby and many other languages, see https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/Homebrew/brew and symbol search screen recording https://cl.ly/0p2a131B3r04.
