Q&A with Matz
summary
Claims concrete improvements: CPU-bound OptCarrot benchmarks run 2.5× faster than Ruby 2.0 while Rails gains are modest because I/O stays OS-limited, JIT work is experimental and heavy-weight, and more aggressive JITs or multiple JIT engines are under study. Roadmap targets December 2020 for Ruby 3, tooling plans favor external, tool-based gradual typing (no inline annotations) with type-analysis experiments, MRuby shows up in appliances and MRuby embedded routers, the stdlib is moving toward gemification and the project migrates from Subversion to Git.
