According to Stack Overflow as of this year, #Ruby is *3 times* more popular than Zig.
And yet Zig has a legit Zig Software Foundation 501(c)(3) which publishes its finances transparently.
Kotlin is a bit more popular than Ruby, and the Kotlin Foundation is pretty corporate-backed without individual contributions, but at least it owns and controls the Kotlin trademark and not just one BDFL.
Ruby has a BDFL, no real “Ruby Foundation”, and Ruby Central is not transparent.
This is not good.

Many languages & protocols have a formal process for submitting, discussing, showing support for, and ultimately approving or rejecting feature proposals.
Speaking of Kotllin, there's a GH repo for viewing & discussing KEEP (Kotlin Evolution and Enhancement Process) entries. https://github.com/Kotlin/KEEP
Swift has a well-documented evolution process for tracking SEs, and steering groups with various focus areas. https://www.swift.org/community/#swift-evolution
#Ruby has a mailing list. 🤷🏻♂️ We wait for Matz to make his call.

@jaredwhite ruby had something called RFPs (request for proposal iirc) which were like python's PEPs, a long time ago.
I honestly can't remember what happened then. -

I honestly can't remember what happened then.@riffraff I honestly can't recall, that must've really been a looong time ago.

@jaredwhite yeah I think in the 00s. The ruby community back then was tiny but full of random interesting initiatives. E.g. I remember the Ruby Package Archive, which would have been a debian-like package system with maintainers instead of a "publish what you want" system like rubygems.
Given the recent supply chain attack craze.. well maybe it was an idea worth pursuing.

Alla fine ho scioperato per 3/4 ieri. Le attività delle associazioni mi hanno fregato. Ma quanto è difficile scioperare quando lavori in proprio? Basta un innocuo messaggio e mi ritrovo a lavorare.

@Uilebheist @feorag on the Italian side right now the line is completely closed between Chiasso (CH) and Como (IT)
so any delay or disruption is evidently the fault of the foreign operator, not SBB/CFF/FFS
(on a more serious note: the official warning from the swiss operatori sbb.ch/en says “Road and rail traffic has been severely affected. Travellers who do not have to travel to northern Italy urgently are not advised to travel. Rail services on the Chiasso–Milan Centrale route have been suspended and no rail replacement buses will be running between Chiasso and Milano Centrale. Passengers travelling to Italy should travel via the Simplon route to Milano Centrale instead. Please note that there may be capacity restrictions on the Simplon route. Service will last until 23 September 2025, around 11:59pm.”
(to be fair, the other commuter lines between the lower Tessin and Lombardy seem to be running, but there is no direct connection to Milan, they require at least one change)

È un test che si basa sull'idea che si possa conoscere il futuro, e questo benché irrealistico lo si può accettare per amore di discussione, e che una persona sola possa essere responsabile di una guerra mondiale e un genocidio come mai se n'erano visti nella storia dell'umanità, e questo è un assunto che mi sembra ancora più irrealistico del precedente.

Annullato tutto. Mezza casa allagata, voglia di vedere gente inesistente, ansia di uscire e tornare che ho la piscina olimpionica al posto della sala livello verso l'infinito e oltre.
