I think the Prism parser update is a standout highlight for me. This is the start of many new static analysis tools for ruby.
It's also significant that RBS type information is starting to be used in IRB autocompletion. Previously RBS has been an interesting experiment but hasn't had much practical use compared to Sorbet.
Ruby seems to now have good answers to non-blocking IO (async fibers) and tooling questions (ruby-lsp). We're starting to see YJIT performance improvements starting to compound with more to come too.
That all seems significant to me. Thanks to everyone involved.

Yes! Ractors deserve more highlighting! It’s a huge feature.
