Q&A with Yukihiro Matsumoto (Matz)

on YouTube ↗40m

" summary

Adds concrete changes and limits: pattern matching lands as an experimental, slower but expressive feature; core plans copy the async gem internals to give true I/O‑multiplexed async APIs for sockets, files and DB access; pipeline and dot‑colon operators get tried then retracted after community confusion; small legacy features face staged deprecation with warnings before removal; MRI stays separate from mRuby; Ruby 3.0 aims for next year barring disasters.
