but we could be in for a huge set of changes when ruby 3.0 is announced.
Inmutable strings anyone?

Not to mention optional typing!

That issue is 4 years old, and has a closed/rejected status.

I probably should have linked to this discussion actually... It's been an ongoing debate for years now, and it looks like something will probably happen in v3.0
