Are you serious?

Maybe Ruby 3.0 will address the allomorphic problem with duck typing. Maybe.

Maybe Ruby 3.0 will add continuations and coroutines back into the language.

Maybe Ruby 2.5 will add a native calling interface.

Maybe Ruby 3.0 will interoperate with several other languages (but by that point we'll call it Cardinal).

Maybe Ruby 3.0 will add multiple dispatch, and multiple blocks to a function, and automatic currying, and optional typing, and built-in laziness, and asynchronous IO, and parellelizable hyperoperators, and constrained types, and finally fix the require mess.

Maybe Ruby 4.0 will add junctions.

The only problem is that no one has announced Ruby 3.0 yet, so I'm just guessing at when the Ruby developers will start to think about some of the nice features of Perl 6. Meanwhile, maybe Ruby 2.0 will come out before Perl 6. Maybe.
