Are you serious?

Maybe Ruby 3.0 will address the allomorphic problem with duck typing. Maybe.

Maybe Ruby 3.0 will add continuations and coroutines back into the language.

Maybe Ruby 2.5 will add a native calling interface.

Maybe Ruby 3.0 will interoperate with several other languages (but by that point we'll call it Cardinal).

Maybe Ruby 3.0 will add multiple dispatch, and multiple blocks to a function, and automatic currying, and optional typing, and built-in laziness, and asynchronous IO, and parellelizable hyperoperators, and constrained types, and finally fix the require mess.

Maybe Ruby 4.0 will add junctions.

The only problem is that no one has announced Ruby 3.0 yet, so I'm just guessing at when the Ruby developers will start to think about some of the nice features of Perl 6. Meanwhile, maybe Ruby 2.0 will come out before Perl 6. Maybe.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


good chemistry is complicated, and a little bit messy -LW
