Ruby 3x3 Progress
- jaredcwhite 9y agoAny significant change to the language is certainly going to take time and careful attention, so I'm not surprised the guilds and typing stuff hasn't fully seen the light of day at this point. Performance progress is certainly welcome...while I applaud the goal of 3x speed over Ruby 2.0, I'd be quite content with only 2x, which I suspect is a more realistic target.
- genzoman 9y agoRuby is the mainframe of the web. It will be around for a long time, but nobody should start a business built on it now. And just like the mainframe, there will be a select few who make a lot of money at it. IMO most companies will eventually just rewrite their projects in something more modern.
- hit8run 9y agoWhy do you think that and what is your alternative?
- bakery2k 9y agoReally interested to see what approach Ruby takes when it comes to typing support. Matz has said that "optional typing should honor duck typing" [1], which will require a very different approach to the simple nominal typing that's been added to recent versions of Python.
