10:52 PM Ruby Feature #22443 (Open): Remove multi-line regular expression comments from object inspection

``` ruby
class Demo
PATTERN = /

11:30 PM Ruby Feature #21005: Update the source location method to include line start/stop and column start/stop details

With this implemented and then removed after Ruby 4.0.0, Preview 2, is this still planned for completion? Would really like to have this but unclear on the current plan. I assume we will have to wait until Ruby 4.1.0 at best? bkuhlmann (Brooke Kuhlmann)

01:39 PM Ruby Feature #21005: Update the source location method to include line start/stop and column start/stop details

Any chance this could be fixed and included in time for the Ruby 4.0.0 release? bkuhlmann (Brooke Kuhlmann)

02:32 PM Ruby Misc #21657: Question: Is Ruby 4.0 planned for December 2025 or later?

**Jean**:
Sorry, I didn't provide enough context to my original statement. Each year -- about ~2 months before Christmas when a new Ruby version drops -- I release a *patch* version of all my gems that accepts the current version and ... bkuhlmann (Brooke Kuhlmann)

10:11 PM Ruby Misc #21657: Question: Is Ruby 4.0 planned for December 2025 or later?

I would also like to know if the next Ruby version is 3.5.0 or 4.0.0 precisely because Ruby doesn't follow Semantic Versioning. Having this knowledge sooner rather than later means I can pin my gemspecs to the correct version (and/or ver... bkuhlmann (Brooke Kuhlmann)

05:02 PM Ruby Feature #21219: `Object#inspect` accept a list of instance variables to display

ℹ️ In case it's of interest/inspiration, I released [Inspectable](https://alchemists.io/projects/inspectable) 0.2.0 which tackles what is described in this issue by making it easy to redact sensitive information, slim down verbosity, or ... bkuhlmann (Brooke Kuhlmann)

06:41 PM Ruby Feature #21219: `Object#inspect` accept a list of instance variables to display

From an developer ergonomic standoint, could only symbols be used to simplify the syntax further? Example:
``` ruby
# First suggestion.
def inspect = super(:host, :user)

# Third suggestion.
private def inspect_instance_variable... bkuhlmann (Brooke Kuhlmann)

03:23 PM Ruby Feature #21005: Update the source location method to include line start/stop and column start/stop details

**Yusuke**: I went hunting for the `Prism.node_for` method/documentation but couldn't find it. If I understand you correctly, I think you are proposing adding the `.node_for` implementation to Prism? If so, I like the detailed informatio... bkuhlmann (Brooke Kuhlmann)

08:20 PM Ruby Feature #21005: Update the source location method to include line start/stop and column start/stop details

Yeah, eager to see what the consensus on this becomes from the next dev meeting.
I like the idea of a `Ruby::SourceLocation` or even a `Ruby::Source` object? The latter would be nice because you could message the instance as `source.cod... bkuhlmann (Brooke Kuhlmann)
