Keynote: Ruby, Community and You
summary
Ruby’s community claim is concrete: core development still sits in Subversion and Redmine but many standard libraries are being converted into GitHub gems to accept pull requests, lowering the barrier to contribution. The core team counts ~30–40 active committers, Rails lists ~5,000 contributors on its website, and one prolific contributor shows ~1,000 commits (~50% of some histories). Examples: a personal gem reaches 127 contributors; conferences like RubyKaigi drive language work on types and concurrency.
