Fireside Chat - Q&a with Matz
summary
Ruby has nearly 100 committers with under 20 actively working on the core; Ruby’s next milestones target three concrete problems: performance, concurrency, compatibility. Experimental type tools appear—runtime type info generated from tests and TypeScript‑style definition files. Concurrency work prototypes isolated “guilds” to avoid shared‑mutable threads. MRuby receives practicality fixes—hundreds of MRuby bugs fixed to stabilize sandboxing—and repository workflow stays on Subversion with a GitHub mirror while planning small breaking changes like keyword args stop auto‑hashing.
