Gemification for Ruby 2.5/3.0

on YouTube ↗33m

" summary

Gemification converts many standard libraries into default gems or bundled gems so libraries like openssl moved to GitHub can ship security fixes independently of Ruby releases. Ruby 2.5 targets about 14 default gems (release planned Dec 25) and experiment CI runs bundled-gem test suites against development interpreters. Remaining blockers are concrete: bundled gems cannot use C extensions, and the real-world activation problem prevents selecting older gem versions under rubygems/Bundler dependency resolution.
