03:52 AM Ruby Feature #17786: Proposal: new "ends" keyword
When I read the proposal I had to think about the "ennnnnd" proposal. :)
That one was linked in above:
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/5054
It's hard to say how serious people are, but I think "ennnnnnnd" was a joke,
while th...

12:55 PM Ruby Feature #17768: Proposal: Downward assignments
plot twist by **mame** similar to last year:
- It's actually not a joke. :)
plot twist by **matz** this year:
- He actually WILL approve joke suggestions this year.

03:45 PM Ruby Feature #17762: A simple way to trace object allocation
I think this is a good suggestion.
Please correct me if my assumptions are wrong, but if I understood the general gist of it correctly
then the main point here is that, rather than focusing on specific names, such as
ObjectSpace.tra...

02:01 AM Ruby Feature #17749: Const source location without name
Personally I agree with Aaron's use case or the general potential usefulness
of being able to query const_source_location where Aaron's suggestion is a
simplification over A::B (because the ruby user no longer HAS to know that
specif...

11:15 AM Ruby Feature #17579 (Open): [Proposal] A suggestion for newline-separated shorthand notation, for the creation of Arrays containing strings that may contain ' ' (space) characters
New year, new proposal! :)
Summary (TL;DR) of the proposal first: It is here proposed that ruby adds functionality to allow ruby users to create arrays, with (string) members inside that array that may contain ' ' (space) characters.

New year, new comment! :D

This is true; ruby has always been **multi-paradigm** and " **more than one way** ", even though I think its core strength has been ...

07:41 PM Ruby Misc #17399: Are endless methods experimental?
I guess the discussion here may be more what exactly "experimental" means, similar
to what people expect a "constant" to be (non-changable, but if you come from
the point of view of ruby's philosophy then it makes sense to be able to c...

07:10 PM Ruby Bug #17419: `binding.eval` backtrace differente
I think this is an intended change; it was explained via a link
to a comment in another issue (I think by mame or someone else,
where matz commented on reverting the behaviour). If I remember
the reason, the changed backtrace confused...

08:59 PM Ruby Feature #17288: Optimize __send__ call with a literal method name
Just a few things:
We need to also remember **.instance_variable_get()** and **.instance_variable_set()**.
Ruby does not quite use a similar "restriction-style" OOP like, say, java. It will
depend a lot on the style and preferences of ...

10:41 AM Ruby Feature #17265: Add `Bool` module
I tried to make a shorter summary of my thoughts here, so just three points - hopefully that makes it easier to read:
(1) Most of the discussion, I think, happened at https://github.com/ruby/rbs/issues/133 - if I then understand the dis...
