Keynote: Super Dry Ruby
summary
History of Ruby plus concrete roadmap: an embeddable interpreter mruby and ngx_mruby already exists and is used in practice, evented libraries (EventMachine, Cool.io) and JRuby/Rubinius show concurrency tradeoffs, and work targets removing the GIL via actors or share-borrow model and a pipeline experiment called stream. Soft typing aims for soft typing ~50–80% inferred safety not annotations. Performance and memory reduction are active priorities; several prototypes run and experiments continue.
