#4This really makes Christmas festive. I don't think I need new features, but sure love simplicity of 4.0.
I am installing it now. Thank you Matz and team.

#6It seems Ractor is still work in progress while Fiber has matured a lot in the last few releases.
I vaguely remember reading Shopify is using Fiber / Rack / Async in their codebase. I am wondering if Rails will get more Fiber usage by default.

#9I 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?

To me it seems very few people use ractors. A bit more use fibers though.
It's a bit of a mess IMO. I'd much prefer everything be simplified aggressively in regards to threads + GIL; and Ractors integrated on top of Ruby::Box to provide not only namespaced container-like entities but also thread-support as a first-class citizen at all times. The API of ractors is weird and really not fun to use.
