[ruby-core:72503] Ruby 3.0 in 2017?

[ruby-core:72503] Ruby 3.0 in 2017?

[Eric Wong]

It looks like we'll be working on Ruby 2.4 this year for a Christmas
2016 release.  So I guess we won't have Ruby 3.0 won't landing until
Christmas 2017 at earliest?

For what it's worth, I do not look forward to ever having a
backwards-incompatible flag day for 3.0.  Too much has been done
since 1.9 came out to break compatibility.

From a non-Pythonist point-of-view, Python's 2-to-3 transition looks
like a complete mess.  As a long-time (and still daily!) Perl 5 user;
I'm happy to see continued improvements to 5 and don't care at all
for 6, yet.

As far as I understand,

1. Matz decides the version to be released.
2. Current trunk is version 2.4, but it doesn't mean 2016-12-25's
release is 2.4. It may change to 3.0 in 2016.
3. Ruby 3.0 must be 3 times faster than Ruby 2. (Ruby 3x3) This means
3.0 won't be released before it.
4. Ruby understands incompatibility needs sufficient benefit.
