Questions for Matz
summary
Covers concrete plans and experiments: ongoing soft typing experiments with compiler type inference and propagation for autocomplete and no-method errors, exploration of pruning unmaintained stdlib into gems, an option to turn off GIL at compile time for visibility into threading problems, proposals for actor or mRuby embedding models with per-thread heaps, explicit rejection of macros, practical notes on Git/SVN migration and C99, references to Flow and typing research, plus UnboundMethod use cases and performance/JIT tradeoffs.
