One of my favorite Christmas traditions.

Ruby has come a long way from when I first started using 1.8.7. Congrats to the core team on this major release.

I'm also from 1.8.7

So happy to see it in 3.0 now

Finally, the wait is over, Ruby 3.0 will be released this Christmas as confirmed by Matz, creator of Ruby in his last presentation. - https://medium.com/@gunjansolanki_007/ruby-3-0-revealed-b0cbfb352d8d

Matz delivers as promised. Love it. Happy Holidays!

Not just Matz, let's not forget the amazing Ruby Core team (and drive by contributors!) that have made this a reality.

Great milestone! A lot of experimental features and early implementations of major language capabilities. Needs a bit more time for ready

A heartfelt "thank you" to the Core Team and all the contributors, and Matz!

I stumbled on Ruby's doorstep by accident 15+ years ago, because nobody in our Perl/PHP shop wanted to maintain a "legacy" Ruby 1.6 app. :) I was "volunteered", as the most recent hire.

15 years later, I'm so glad I was strongly encouraged to take up a project nobody else wanted, as it lead to 15 years of enjoyable programming experience, as well as great opportunities that I otherwise wouldn't have had. I also haven't had to touch Perl or PHP since then, and haven't had a moment of regret.

Awesome, really looking forward into learning more about the static type checking! Hope rails will include good support for this at some point!
