Ruby 2 roadmap

Hi all,

I know this one could be an impertinent question ;) I'd like to know if
there's some Ruby 2 roadmap so users could follow the development and know a
little more about its current status. I guess that reading the cvs changelog
could be a way to achieve it :p

Any ideas?

Thank you and congratulations for your great job Matz... i'm really in love
with Ruby :)

There's some slides from a talk Matz gave on the subject at last
year's RubyConf. Some kind soul will provide a URL, or google or
ruby-doc.org might help.

Apart from that, I don't think you're going to get much information :)
I don't think all that much has been implemented.

I love the title of this presentation ^o^

I think the same. Matz does not seem to have much time to work on Ruby.
How long exactly before Ruby 2? Nobody knows, not even Matz I think...
Before beginning to work on Rite, the testing of the Ruby 2 additions
on the current implementation of Ruby (Ruby 1.9) must be finished, and
only then the work on Rite will begin (Matz may already have begun
coding for Ruby 2, but I do not think so). And rewriting Ruby and it VM
from scratch is not easy and will take a long time... So you will have
to keep using 1.8 and 1.9 for a while...
If you want an estimation, at this pace I will say at _least_ 2-3
years. It may be more. It may be less if Matz has more time or if
someone makes a great version that is acknowledged by Matz. Only the
future will tell us ^o^

well, I think that there is a chance that YARV becomes the base for
rite, at least giving matz some ideas. You can follow its development
here: http://www.atdot.net/svn/yarv/trunk/
I may be wrong, though.

I've read this slides... they're a "must" if you want to known what's comin'
on :)

Oh, yes, I suppose that it's a long way to go... the only thing that I'd like
to know is the status (more or less) of the development. There's no problem
to me in continue using 1.8 and 1.9... they work pretty fine :)

Thank you for your quick answers ;)
