Tweaking Emacs for Ruby Development in 2023 · John Hamelink

Since I started a new job in April, I’ve been spending the majority of my time with legacy Ruby code for the first time since 2017 (I’d been mainly working on Elixir and Typescript codebases between then and now).Before my start-date at the new job, I spent some time setting up a basic Emacs configuration for Ruby. I’d made a good start, but with all those unknown unknowns swimming around, I was only able to make vague assumptions about what I needed. I’ve since done a bunch more tweaking to get a configuration that works well with the development environment in this company.
