I believe with version 3.3 Ruby is back in a big way! The language focused on developer happiness and derided for its slowness is slow no more.
YJIT is an amazing technology, and together with other innovations like object shapes and various GC optimizations, Ruby is becoming seriously fast! Big Ruby shops such as Shopify [1] have been running 3.3 pre-release with YJIT and reporting double digit percentage performance improvements.
Personally I'm really excited about Ruby and its future. I can't wait to start working with Ruby 3.3 and using it on my client's production sites...
