It's a "weird feeling" to see a framework mentioned in a language update! it shows you that like Python has "one obvious way to do things" Ruby has one obvious framework, i can't see PHP 6.0 released and codeigniter/cake/any other framework mentioned in the release, correct me i'm wrong!.
- why-el 12y agoIt really isn't. They mentioned Rails because it will be the biggest winner from their new GC that also collects symbols (Rails is a heavy user of symbols). No harm in mentioning some of the beneficiaries of the change, as long as that change is not unfairly impacting other projects. Good move from Matz and co.
- ramigb 12y agoNever said it's a bad move, i love Rails and i love Ruby as well, it was just the first time i see a framework directly mentioned in a language changelog.
- rubiquity 12y agoruby-core has a history of making sure Rails does not guide the direction of Ruby the language. Most of the time, advancements to Ruby the language will always have a positive impact on Rails the framework. Sometimes these changes to Ruby the language come to light because of Rails the framework. It's a very healthy relationships between the two.
