Hi,

yes there is a way. You can use --remote-expr (see :h --remote-expr) or
--remote-send. Checkout also :help server-functions. The vim that you
use has to be run with --servername switch (actually this only matters
for the terminal vim). Not that you also need to send the vim
servername to your ruby script (:help v:servername).

Best regards,
Marcin
