Ruby Panel
summary
Panelists state concrete developments: a tiny experimental stream language toy (200 lines, 3k stars) existed and gained attention, a lightweight implementation mrb aims for a smaller ISO‑conforming core, and work hits actual code — maintaining stdlib pieces like fiddle and psych, doing a major garbage collector refactor, and pushing boot-time patches and profilers that shaved measurable startup and memory in real Rails apps. Proposals include freezing literals, splitting legacy stdlib into gems, and tightening the ISO spec.
