Ruby master - Bug #16475: [Installation process - compiling ruby 2.7.0 from...
I should add that even despite the openssl warning, "make install" appears to work perfectly fine - ruby is at /usr/bin/ruby and it works fine. As I type this, I am compiling a new base system through...
View ArticleRuby master - Misc #16483: How about stopping new *.tar.bz2 releases?
I don't mind as in I don't need .tar.bz2.Personally I use .tar.xz; all local archives of source files that I keep are in .tar.xz format.(Note that github offers either git clone, or .zip, so .tar.bz2...
View ArticleRuby master - Feature #16484: Remove xmlrpc and net-telnet from bundled gems
I don't think I have used either one of them so I may not be the primary target audience either way.I only remember having used telnet in the 1990s to connect to oldschool text MUDs.:D But I guess for...
View ArticleRuby master - Misc #16487: Potential for SIMD usage in ruby-core
I wanted to add just a short comment - while byroot is quite possibly correct in regards to most users using pre-packaged binaries (probably), there are also folks (like me, and others) who compile...
View ArticleRuby master - Feature #16495: Inconsistent quotes in error messages
Hmm. Is this encoding-related perhaps? I remember having had that when I used ISO (ISO-8859-1 specifically, and a non-utf locale too). Nowadays, with Unicode, I don't seem to have this inconsistent...
View ArticleRuby master - Feature #16511: Staged warnings and better compatibility for...
Matz already commented. :)I will briefly give my opinion. I think aside from special cases, one issue is that ruby users have to understand why different/specialized hashes are used, be this KwHash or...
View ArticleRuby master - Feature #16517: mkmf.rb - changes for Windows ?
Just a comment or two - please don't get distracted from the main issue greg referred to, it is just my opinion:Taking it further, *.gemspec metadata could include the names of packages required for...
View ArticleRuby master - Feature #16600: Optimized opcodes for frozen arrays and hashes...
I can not evaluate the speed/efficiency part, so from this point of view that may be ok - I have no idea.I believe the other part is a general design decision, though. Is the intention really to...
View ArticleRuby master - Feature #16601: Let `nil.to_a` and `nil.to_h` return a fixed...
I somewhat agree with the explanation, so I think the suggestion in itself is fine as such.I believe there may be a language design consideration, though, e. g. whether matz thinks that this makes...
View ArticleRuby master - Feature #16602: Add support for `frozen_string_literals` to eval.
Basically, it's back to the discussion of enabling frozen_string_literal by default.As far as I know it is not so much a discussion (matz decided to enable it after all) - the primary question was more...
View ArticleRuby master - Feature #16605: Support argument delegation (...) with...
It may be that this is a new suggestion, at the least I don't recall a similar proposal although perhaps others thought about it before, since it may make sense (e. g. if you wish to dynamically add...
View ArticleRuby master - Feature #16615: Group style access scope for macros
The suggestion is fairly short; might help to expand a bit, in particular why it would be necessary/useful.Two comments from me in regards to the proposal:Is there a defining difference towards e. g....
View ArticleRuby master - Feature #16621: Second block parameter of Pathname#glob to be...
(Just trying to get some more details - I have no particular opinion per se as I tend to almost exclusively use Dir[] myself, so this is more for ruby users who use Pathname in general.)Would this...
View ArticleRuby master - Feature #16637: Time#to_s and Date#to_s accept strftime format...
While terms like strftime and strptime are ubiqutous through the history of computer science, I feel that the terms are very dense.Agreed. I can't remember them offhand either, I just copy/paste from...
View ArticleRuby master - Misc #16645: Non-warned change of behavior in 2.7 for...
I can not answer your question but I believe matz mentioned the change several times in different talks before. So a deprecation phase makes no real sense, unless matz and the core team wants to...

I glanced at rbinstall.rb briefly; for those interested, the link should be here:https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/master/tool/rbinstall.rbThat seems quite old code, lots of global variables in it as...
View ArticleRuby master - Feature #16665: Add an Array#except_index method
I can not comment on how useful this may be; I think I may have added something similar once in a while, but I can not say how useful or common that would be. IMO we should see to determine how common...

View ArticleRuby master - Feature #16667: Allow parameters to Symbol#to_proc and...
I think this or something similar was suggested in the past, even aside from the two linked in proposals. So this may even be older than 5 years. :)I do not remember what the conclusion was in all...

Does anyone else think the same syntax would be beneficial for Strings?I do not doubt that it can be useful. One advantage of your proposal is that it is very short and succinct.Personally, though, I...
