[ruby-core:116882] [Ruby master Misc#20281] DevMeeting-2024-03-14

Issue #20281 has been updated by burdettelamar (Burdette Lamar).


[Feature #20261] Add symbol synonyms for `''` (empty string) and `nil` for IO method line separator arguments
* For value `''` (read paragraph), add synonym `:paragraph`.
* For value `nil` (read all), add synonym `:slurp`.

Thus the user can write `gets(:paragraph)` or `gets(:slurp)`, instead of `gets('')` or `gets(nil)`.

The term _slurp_ is well-established in Perl and Python to mean <i>read all</i>, but a different term can be used in Ruby if there's a better one.

# The next dev meeting

**Date: 2024/03/14 09:00-12:00, 13:00-17:00** (JST)
Log: *TBD*

- Dev meeting *IS NOT* a decision-making place. All decisions should be done at the bug tracker.
- Dev meeting is a place we can ask Matz, nobu, nurse and other developers directly.
- Matz is a very busy person. Take this opportunity to ask him. If you can not attend, other attendees can ask instead of you (if attendees can understand your issue).
- We will write a record of the discussion in the file or to each ticket in English.
- All activities are best-effort (keep in mind that most of us are volunteer developers).
- The date, time and place of the meeting are scheduled according to when/where we can reserve Matz's time.
- *DO NOT* discuss then on this ticket, please.

# Call for agenda items

If you have a ticket that you want matz and committers to discuss, please post it into this ticket in the following format:

```
* [Ticket ref] Ticket title (your name)
  * Comment (A summary of the ticket, why you put this ticket here, what point should be discussed, etc.)
```

Example:

```
* [Feature #14609] `Kernel#p` without args shows the receiver (ko1)
  * I feel this feature is very useful and some people say :+1: so let discuss this feature.
```

- It is recommended to add a comment by 2024/03/11. We hold a preparatory meeting to create an agenda a few days before the dev-meeting.
- The format is strict.  We'll use [this script to automatically create an markdown-style agenda](https://gist.github.com/mame/b0390509ce1491b43610b9ebb665eb86).  We may ignore a comment that does not follow the format.
- Your comment is mandatory. We cannot read all discussion of the ticket in a limited time. We appreciate it if you could write a short summary and update from a previous discussion.
