Description

Just take a look at this: atom/language-ruby#261.

The official Ruby language tree-sitter package is extremely problematic. It's so difficult to use Ruby and ERB files with the syntax coloring going and coming since the release of tree-sitter (see yourselves in atom/language-ruby#279, atom/language-ruby#295, atom/language-ruby#256) that I and several other users migrated to Visual Studio Code to work with Ruby on Rails projects.

The latest version of this package is dated November 2019 (atom/language-ruby#293). There are some pull requests and pending commits that may fix this issue that users are awaiting impatiently ().

I urge the Atom team to pay attention to the atom/language-ruby package. There are several commits and pull requests from us, users, that the repository maintainers are ignoring. Many developers are afraid to use Microsoft software, with a large company from behind, but it seems that Open-source is not working well with atom in recent times.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new Ruby file.
2. Use some of the several examples from the issues linked above.
3. See Ruby tree-sitter parser fail miserably.

Expected behavior:

The tree-sitter parser should work in all circumstances.

Actual behavior:

The tree-sitter parser lost syntax coloring.

Reproduces how often:

It happens a lot. I mean... A LOT. With several users on Windows, MacOS and Linux since few years ago.
