I haven't looked at Ruby for a long time. I've moved away due to the lack of typing. Any degree of typing would be helpful. Does it support typing yet?
I'm happy to see v4.0, but 2025 was the year I switched from Ruby to Python after gradually drifting back to it more and more. The tipping point was when I had Claude Code automatically convert one of my Ruby projects to 100% Python - and after that, I just had no Ruby left. I spent over a decade enjoying Ruby and even wrote a book about it. At this point, though, Python has won for me: fastapi, pytorch, langchain, s…

I think most people who cared just moved to typescript.
It's never Christmas without a new ruby version. The ruby::box thing looks pretty interesting, from a cursory glance you can run two simultaneous versions of something like a feature or rollout much more conveniently. Also being able to do if condition1 && condition2 ... end on multiple lines rather than one - this is pretty nifty too!
I've been doing if condition1 && condition2 ... end for ages and it seems to work find, what am I missing with this new syntax?!

Unfortunately, the type support is still useless. I abandoned Ruby for the same reason, and it is still relatively slow and eats a lot of memory.
It's literally faster than Python but ok.

Is being faster than Python considered to be a notable feature?

_low_type_ is early days still, but I think this approach is clearly the future of ruby typing. If this gets baked into the language for full “compile” time support and minimal performance impact, it will be amazing: https://github.com/low-rb/low_type
Out of all three I think Shopify have the highest possibilities. There may be additional usefulness interms of ZJIT.
