06:52 PM Ruby Feature #21695: Optimizing Ruby performance with Ruby itself instead of Rust

So, what you are doing is code-generation at compile time using ERB templates, which is cool! But, I find it a stretch to call it meta-programming, since the C code isn't writing C code at runtime, everything is happening at compile time... ufuk (Ufuk Kayserilioglu)

04:47 PM Ruby Bug #21983: RubyVM::AST no way to find &nil

I am guessing that the `&nil` case should read `block: false` by comparing it to the `**nil` case:
```shell
❯ ruby -e 'pp RubyVM::AbstractSyntaxTree.parse("def foo(**nil); end")'
(SCOPE@1:0-1:19

args: nil

03:43 PM Ruby Feature #21972: Add Date.birthday and Date.age to track Ruby's milestones

I think these methods should live on the new `Ruby` module as `Ruby.birthday` and `Ruby.age` instead:
```ruby
puts "Today: #{Date.today}" # => Today: 2026-04-01
# Check the "age" of Ruby
puts "Age: #{Ruby.age}" # =>... ufuk (Ufuk Kayserilioglu)

01:36 PM Ruby Feature #21665: Revisit Object#deep_freeze to support non-Ractor use cases

It was discussed in the November 2025 meeting and it seems the conclusion was that @headius would be bringing a proposal to address @matz's concerns: https://github.com/ruby/dev-meeting-log/blob/master/2025/DevMeeting-2025-11-13.md#featu... ufuk (Ufuk Kayserilioglu)

09:08 PM Ruby Feature #21930: Add Ractor#empty? method to check for pending messages without blocking

03:01 PM Ruby Feature #19979: Allow methods to declare that they don't accept a block via `&nil`

@kddnewton There is already a PR with both parse.y (from @nobu) and Prism changes: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/11065
I'd be happy to rebase, update that branch and merge any other changes you think are important for Prism. ufuk (Ufuk Kayserilioglu)

04:42 PM Ruby Feature #13683: Add strict Enumerable#single

@Dan0042 If the proposed method isn't going to raise an exception, then how would one disambiguate between a `nil` result because the collection has a single entry which is `nil` and a `nil` result since the collection has (for example) ... ufuk (Ufuk Kayserilioglu)

Please post the C level backtrace as well. Usually that's very helpful. ufuk (Ufuk Kayserilioglu)
