As per https://langserver.org/ , language_server-ruby is very basic where as https://github.com/castwide/solargraph supports more capabilities.
Solargraph, however, only supports TCP; the author is suggesting he was getting more performant results over TCP vs stdio, this is why he kept TCP.

The author will take a look at stdio again but it would make sense for Oni to support TCP, especially it might be faster.
Hello and welcome to the Oni repository! Thanks for opening your first issue here. To help us out, please make sure to include as much detail as possible - including screenshots and logs, if possible.
Solargraph gem v0.23.2 includes the first version of the stdio transport. castwide/solargraph#65
Thanks for logging the issue, @zxiest ! Would love for Oni to support TCP too - I believe that the performance is better (particularly on Windows).
If anyone is up for checking this out, here's where we connect to stdin/stdout today:

I think it'd just be a matter of adding a configuration for language server registration to pick the transport - and then update the code there to respect that configuration setting.
