Ruby3 challenges
summary
Ruby 2.3 already adds concrete features: did_you_mean typo correction, safe navigation &. operator, dig for nested access, grep_v, fetch_values and frozen-string-literal magic comment; mruby 1.2 and a tiny experimental language called Stream are also live with community patches and working interpreters. The core team measures steady 5–10% yearly speedups but now sets an explicit 3x performance target vs Ruby 2, exploring JIT/AOT, GC and concurrency models (actors, ownership, STM) and asking companies and contributors to help reach it.
