Ruby 4
Ruby 4x4
Ruby 4 is going to be 4 timesfaster than Ruby 3
Ruby 4 is going to be 12 timesfaster than Ruby 2
Ruby 4 is finally going to befast enough!
What about Ruby 3?
–Matz“We’ll aim to release Ruby 3 for the OlympicGames in Tokyo in 2020.”
Ruby 3 Goals•Improved programming safety•Faster performance•Better concurrency/parallelism support•Better tools
Optional static typing?
Duck inference?
Actors?
Stream based model?
Ownership based model?
Guilds?
3 times faster performance?
Smaller Goals•Sane keyword arguments (?!!?!)•Pattern Matching•Deprecation of quirky features•Frozen string literals
Ruby 3.0Redux
Dictionary Definitions

Ruby 3.0 is nota singlemagic release

Ruby follows SemVer
Ruby 3 is going to be 3 timesfaster than Ruby 2.0
Generational GC(Ruby 2.1)
Incremental GC(Ruby 2.2)
MJIT(Ruby 2.6)
Deprecation of flip-flops(Ruby 2.6)
Ruby 2.7
Numbered block parameters
numbers.map { Math.log2(@1) }
foo.bar { @1 + @2 }
h = Hash.new { @1[@2] = "Go Fish: #{@2}" }
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15723
Method reference operator
[2, 4, 8, 16, 32].map { |n| Math.log2(n) }
[2, 4, 8, 16, 32].map(&method(Math.log2))
[2, 4, 8, 16, 32].map(&Math.:log2)
[2, 4, 8, 16, 32].map { Math.log2($1) }

Ruby 3.0(Current Status)
Better Tools
RubyGems 3
The bundling of Bundler(Ruby 2.6)
Gemifying the Standard Library(ongoing progress)
Default vs Bundled Gems
Default Gems• Bundler• RubyGems• date• irb• json• …
Bundled Gems• minitest• did_you_mean• rake• …
stdgems.org
Ruby 3x3
Only applies to certainbenchmarks
Ruby 2.6is 65% faster thanRuby 2.0
10% average speedup perrelease
MJIT is the biggest hope forRuby 3x3
Guilds
Developed outside the Ruby’smain repo
https://github.com/ko1/ruby/tree/guild
Work in progress ™
Parallel Programming in Ruby 3 withGuilds(http://www.atdot.net/~ko1/activities/2018_rubyconf2018.pdf)
Sane Keyword Arguments
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14183
# The following calls pass keyword argumentsfoo(..., key: val)foo(..., **hsh)foo(..., key: val, **hsh)
# The following calls pass **normal** argumentsfoo(..., {key: val})foo(..., hsh)foo(..., {key: val, **hsh})
Breaking change!!!
Migration warning inRuby 2.7
Pattern Matching(https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14912)
What’s not in Ruby 3.0?
Optional Static Typing
Actors
Stream processing
Frozen string literals
Deprecation of autoload
Community Impact
