Ripper -> Ripper-tags?

[kwerle]

I notice this uses the ripper gem - which looks pretty ancient. Also I haven't seen it parse anything more than class names in my codebase - which seems weird. And finally, I'm a little confused by the parse code, which is probably more of a me issue.

Anyway - the ripper-tags gem seems up to date and like maybe it'd do a lot of the right things:

Hi @kwerle, thank you for your opinion!

Ripper isn't a gem. It's a stdlib. So I think it isn't ancient and it always works.
And actually, ripper-tags is using ripper internally.
Ripper is even faster than other parser gems.

Yeah, at this time, the static analysis only works for constants and not perfect 😞

I'm a little confused by the parse code, which is probably more of a me issue.

I was just curious about building analyser but now I noticed analysing Ruby code is harder than as I expected.

Of course it's welcome to send PR to use ripper-tags, but please don't remove adhoc things.
adhoc things don't work perfectly for now so I'd like to introduce --experimental flag.

Yeah, following up I saw that ripper is internal. Ripper tags seems to do a really good job of ctagging - which I figure is a pretty good step in the right direction I've forked a branch of the LS and am going to take a shot at using ripper-tags with it. We'll see how it goes.

It's disappointing that atom-ide does not have a lookup and outline implementation that just uses ctag data - that seems like an obvious first step for all languages.

@kwerle did you ever get somewhere on that implementation? Did you find an alt at this point? etc / thanks!
