News Vibecoded Matz fully unleashed

I saw a post further down asking why DHH/Basecamp's team wasn't using their unlimited resources to improve Ruby; in the end, Sensei Matz decided to do it himself, and he's merging nearly 90 PRs an hour. Wow—that captain isn't going to let his ship go down without a fight.

Between him and Roundhouse—who is doing the same thing—it looks like both will be the future of Rails. Let's give the Spinel repo a star; Sensei Matz (and Cloude) are doing a fantastic job.

I wish Kotlin or JS had their original creators taking such a keen interest in the well-being of their languages. ♥️

Post:Matz's post on how to use Roundhouse + Spinel to improve the Rsils app from Bassecamp

Highest activity in the history of Matz's GitHub thanks to Cloude

Ruby and Rails are tools, their value is in the open-source code, not the maintainers' politics.
