08:27 PM Ruby Misc #21647: DevMeeting-2025-11-13
* [Feature #21678] Enumerable#rfind
* This method would be useful for finding the last instance of something in a list.

Thank you @ktsj — I will start working on a patch for Prism. kddnewton (Kevin Newton)

* [Feature #21573] Simpler syntax errors

* Can we add a m...
