Subject: [ruby-core:50894] [ruby-trunk - Feature #7549] A Ruby Design Process


Issue #7549 has been updated by naruse (Yui NARUSE).


As headius said, I think Rubinius is an implementation which is built with C++, not Ruby.

Anyway, this thread needs following:
* Definition of terms: some use the word "Ruby" for MRI, and others use for the new Ruby Standard. It is misleading.
* Just Cause: What is the aim of this? Who is the beneficiaries of this suggestion and what is the benefit?
* Product: what is the resulted product of this process, RubySpec? Documents? Mail log?

Matz,

At RubyConf 2012, I gave a talk about a design process for Ruby (http://www.confreaks.com/videos/1278-rubyconf2012-toward-a-design-for-ruby). So far, over 12,000 people have viewed that talk. I think it is reasonable to say that many people are concerned about and interested in a design process for Ruby.

On Monday, we had an IRC meeting of Ruby implementers. Most of the points in my proposal were discussed but I'm concerned that a lot of confusion remains.

I have written a post that describes a Ruby design process and hopefully clarifies points that people found confusing:

http://brixen.io/2012/12/11/a-ruby-design-process

I would like to propose this process for making changes to Ruby. I am going to put a summary of the process at http://rubyspec.org/design and ask for people who support the process to submit their signature. I'd like to request that you consider the response from the community for my proposal.

Thank you,
Brian
