With that definition, you'd get a syntax error in C++ if you tried to explicitly initialize it like `struct RString retval = {RBASIC_INIT, 0};`. mame (Yusuke Endoh)

03:34 PM Ruby Misc #21657: Question: Is Ruby 4.0 planned for December 2025 or later?

Just adding my two cents to the off-topic discussion.
I honestly feel that the `~>` constraint was a terrible idea. It's going to be a huge pain when Ruby 4.0 is released (at the end of this year, perhaps?), and all the gems locked to... mame (Yusuke Endoh)

07:15 AM Ruby Bug #21654: Set#new calls extra methods compared to previous versions

I understand your point, but I personally disagree.
My concern is that the expectation to "if it's at all possible to raise early" is a slippery slope with no clear boundary.
