" summary

Timeline of implemented ideas and concrete proposals: Ruby 1.9 VM in 2007 arrives and boosts speed, native threads in 2007 lands, generational GC in 2013 ships; about 32% of past language ideas never make it. Ruby 2.2 is due at Christmas; the roadmap for Ruby 3.0 highlights true concurrency (no concrete design yet) and a form of optional soft typing that infers method sets without declarations. JIT/LLVM work aims for 2–4× JIT speed but no guaranteed design; soft typing is proposed as a best‑effort static analyzer that preserves duck typing.
