I���d like to ask about the expected state of Ruby Box in the upcoming Ruby 4.0 release. I came across the roadmap here: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/versions/105, which mentions the related feature: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21311. From the discussion, it seems there are several concerns around the proposal. I also noticed that the name Ruby Box originated from this thread: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21385. In that discussion, it was mentioned that Ruby Box is expected to serve as a low-level API. However, I haven���t found any information about a potential high-level API built on top of it. Since I���d like to plan ahead and ensure that development tools can support this new feature and its adoption, could you please clarify: * Given the threads mentioned above, what is the final vision/scope of the Ruby Box feature? I appreciate if you point me towards relevant documentation. * Is Ruby Box expected to be included by default in Ruby 4.0 (as usual planned for late December if I got it right)? * What is the general plan or roadmap for Ruby Box? Are there any intentions to introduce a high-level API or additional related features? Thank you very much for your time and for any insights you can share. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ ______________________________________________ ruby-core mailing list -- ruby-core@ml.ruby-lang.org To unsubscribe send an email to ruby-core-leave@ml.ruby-lang.org ruby-core info -- https://ml.ruby-lang.org/mailman3/lists/ruby-core.ml.ruby-lang.org/
