RubyHack 2019 - Ruby3: What's Missing? by Yukihiro (Matz) Matsumoto

[Music] hello oh hello this is maths who created the language and I started everything and then usually in the in the keynote in the conference I usually talk about the community and there he'll also see and something but this one is kind exceptional so there this is this one is quite technical but uh I ready he the Ruby language I created I created it in 98 3 1993 which is 626 thank you thank you for card creation I'm very bad at math everyone would be as good Ruby is good because with the programming in it it's pretty productive and the route the programming in Ruby is flexible due to the very concise programs who maybe from the meta programming and also the programming in Ruby is fun for most of us but you know the programming itself is quite far but I'm I'm pretty big fan of programming since I was saying I was 18 but a barking bucket time it was early 80s then the only programming language I could use was the basic which is kind of all about them and I started interesting in programming language in general because of the language way to express our thought that the designing a language is kind of the designing the human thought that concept that attract me who I when I was a high school student for the button we didn't have internet in 80s I couldn't learn about the computer science and how to create a programming language and so that I just gave up that idea at that time when I was seven feeling you know hey I made it into I hate the university I majored in computer science and I I worked as a professional programmer for a while after I graduated from school and then yeah I started programming food to to have joy you know there's no pressure to create create a language I just wanted to I want that I just wanted to create my own programming language to design the way of thinking or programmers but at the same time Ruby is not perfect workers and the son claims Ruby's bad ruby is bad at performance the Ruby doesn't work well with the mouth core CPUs and it and a ruby doesn't work well with the bigger team or bigger project that has some aspect of truth but for the most of the case a broom is good enough for the performance wise so the very big so many websites and so many tools are written in ruby including very big sites like say air B&B or maybe some part of the Twitter the Twitter story is pretty phenomenal and in 2000 I don't remember seven when Twitter was started it was a rails application but you know the Twitter architecture which is based on the stardom the message stream is now very suitable for that no database grant application which is very suitable for rails but the Twitter is not so the day we wrote the new architecture then based on the Scala programming language today but so many people claim ok Twitter just gave up the dweeby so that so wish so we should or something like that yeah but remember Twitter was written in would be one point a which is very very slow and then the ruby 1.9 class and is far faster compared to the ruby 1.8 actually the ruby the the co interpreter of the ruby 1/8 was written by myself and the ruby 1.9 virtual machine is written by the smaller guy they saw the big size reusing will be github is written in Ruby on Rails Arab email use Ruby and instacart use Ruby and the good fat company which is the one of the world biggest recipients I'd in Japan is written they saw Ruby so that even those pigs are site big services can be written in Ruby so that your service can be written so that that means will be is good enough fast enough and in addition the Ruby Tzu will be to improve the performance Roger II look at like this graph you can see the performance the higher the better the performance of the Ruby rails bench is getting a little bit bigger it's version yes but that means it will be fast enough and there for most of the cases and if you crease the remit it's okay for example the Twitter when Twitter started no one understand what Twitter world you know it is it was though we call them the micro blog and the blog that limited that their entry it for in 140 characters this is kind of useless it's kind of stupid idea here so that you know the many investors how the idea of Twitter and the de rejected it's silly so that yeah if you say if you set up your say WordPress site you can write as long as well if you want but it Twitter just provide the limit of 140 characters it's it's gonna be fit but it but the Twitter people it'll didn't give up so that they put a micro blog then they put the certs mentioned between and SDA or something and they gradually define the what Twitter is right now and it at that stage the being with a new movie is pretty crucial there the it is flexible but it make it easy to change they they can explain and the new ideas they gave us some of them they they use the many of them so that they gradually form the idea of what Twitter is then the the free Twitter became pretty popular then the the member will our users with who the users has grown name I know it is quite difficult to hobble that kind of a huge name traffic huge members in a Tuesday so at that point they started migrating the newer technology or maybe faster technology but you know that means if that kind of thing situation happened in your service success success because you have tons of data tons of traffic house of users the very big business so you've got money so that you have got money to migrate your system your service to say Java technology or whatever that's okay so the treatise true story is actually the success story for us we help them to try out new ideas yeah yeah very always this and in addition we we keep are improving the language and implementation so that we are moving the limit even further so that if Twitter was developed present right now the Darin date didn't have to move on to the other technology maybe there will be two is fast enough oh yeah I don't know and we are trying to improve the performance even farther in will be three and then we are planning to release really three in late next year yeah just for the the first improvement point is the GC garbage collectors the when I talk with the people behind the big services especially in China the people claiming cake the ruby version machine is fast enough for us but a memory bottleneck is bigger the for most of the big sites big services memory is the first box so that we need to improve the garbage quicker so that we have in we have improved the garbage collector for for the last several years since Ruby - oh it's a release into 2000 2013 32.1 introduced like generation garbage collector the Ruby 2 point 2 engine introduced an incremental garbage butter and it would be two concepts with this last December in introduced the transient heat and the Ruby two points we are working on the object compaction in the which will be released with the Ruby 2 point 7 this next discipline the women introduced to these technologies the generational garbage collector is the the technique to improve the dog GC time in general so object lib showed the most object created daya so the treating this new object newly created young gods especially that could reduce the garbage collection time in separating generation if the object sucked survives the one that garbage collection so that it will be promoted to that our older generation today look you don't have to scan these old objects because those are just to live longer than other the normal object there but sometimes the these kind of the long long live the object is filling the memory but that we sometimes I use the major or for garbage collection to collect all of data including these order so we have to maintain the remember set which is the bookkeeping of the younger object before a younger object reference from that the older object so now we need to introduce or the right barrier to maintain that control to remember set so the the quality which is in charge of the garbage question the first machine so we implement the out in GC which is the restricted to generate regard effector which is that you know the Rubik garbage collector is the was the traditional mark and sweep cops worked for a long long time but to make it with generational we need the other right barrier the every corner of the language implementation today it is kind of heavy burden so that he introduced at the gradual way to moving toward the generational garbage winter he picked the one class at the time to add the garbage collector other the white barrier to maintain the remember set for the garbage quick table right barrier can be used at the incrementer are incremental garbage collector and the incremental gobbler I'm sorry it measure incremental garbage collector is the stop the garbage collector in between of the marking phase so that garbage the garbage GG past life can be splitted into many pieces that when the object is allocated so many so many the garbage pastime can be cannot be ignored today when we provide the web servers the most of the cases it's okay but sometimes the garbage collector started and you your service will be stopped for a second or two so that you your users that 99% of your users are okay with the one unfolded users that who who hit the garbage quitter how to create that second - to shoulder the web pages that is not good that by doing that marking phase in commentary for the past time will be separated into the many fraction of the excuse that we use the right barrier the before the incremental garbage collector the are or BBC autobahn garbage questions is the way to reduce the first time that all autobahn TC is the call TC explicitly between the week so web request today you know in the idle time we call GC to the so that in the DC want half of during the earth or on during the request the but after the incremental guard you don't have to use that for example the github used to use the auto pungency because of that you know everyone uses github so that you don't be the ones of the very long past five during the no whip is rendering up so that they use the other ones in DC but after will be true to reintroduce the incremental garlic butter they removed the other words Russia because we don't get it we know like a legion the transient sheep is the kind of the generation things that according to the short life hypothesis so that me most object is the most object are the most our memory pages referenced of all of the young object the usually we use malloc to allocate the memory which for those young young objects for example the string body from the springboard a reference to the string dot or re body reference of the re object these are adopting the allocated memory memory region using malloc but the mark is the heavyweight so heavy weight function that we want to avoid calling those net function if it's possible so there we Priora cated the transient key phases at the beginning of the execution so that allocating the memory region reference from the young object used that kind of the pre-allocated pages and when the objects survive the first garbage collection those strands and he pages the promoted to the face so that you can reduce the invocation of the ballot runs well then object compaction the week three and allocating and freeing object caused the fragmentation that will be used uh the big page of the object Fujiko we call the he pages and then we allocate the object from these pages but some survives some some did not so that we have the sub pages only one object is alive if you are located the so many objects in a very short amount of time but the most of them die so that to reduce the memory the physical memory allocated by the process the you you want to the give back the B's pages to the operating system but if very short amount of objects gathered in the very you know fast object series but you you cannot return these pages to the averages so that too so that the physical physical memory is consumed by these processes to reduce that to avoid that kind of things the error errors are from each half is working on the are the object compaction to reduce the total memory consumption and to reduce the cache miss and is the mostly moving compaction so that you can move the object to to empty the pages if possible then we turn these simply empty pages to the operating system and from the the Apaches pour occurs from the our own it is explicit that it's it's kind of like a fantasy but it is in free time we call the digital compact to come back these pages it will take a little bit amount of time so that it is it should be called like specific and memories not all not the only ball like we have the CPU bottleneck and the i/o bottleneck so there to resolve the CPU bottleneck we are working on the JIT compiler just in fact compiler the Ruby 2.6 introduce the engine M stands for the it compiles will be bytecode to C then compile C using GCC Eagle Claw and then then dynamic load the compiled article which is kind of thing but it is some merits but it is horrible because you know the gob GCC is Invictus and it's supposed to so many opera systems and so many CPUs and then you know the dip-dip compiling is heavily lie on the cpu so that supporting Intel or PC or whatever is kind of burden for that by using GCC we don't have to worry about that and then GCC is quite reliable it has the more than twenty maybe thirty years of history and the optic optimization from GCC it's pretty high quality of course it has them demerits it is heavy a name advice and we tried em jet for CP intensive tasks that our benchmark is optical which is the Nintendo Entertainment System and it is very very very CPU intensive tasks and really two point six with the compiler run 2.8 times faster than will be two more which is quite nice which is quite nice but unfortunately for rails up I'm just run slower yet probably the reason is too many methods the Ruby on Rails are so many methods and the the compiling and loading the dynamic library it's good cause I've never bought that we are working on the smarter threshold and like a completion so that a guy in red card who is who who's the real job is maintaining TCC is now working on the mail which is the lightweight squadron the which can be a compiles more lightweight in forcing that time wise and memorize that in the future this is the future plan and the the basic methods are executed in the virtual machine using bytecode and then many method which is which can be bottleneck is Deborah did compiled by the meal the light widget and a very heavyweight inner loop method can be compiled by the mg which can be highly optimized GCC compiler yeah this is the status of gene so that remember the jitneys prop did performance is promising but not for reals yet the other way to improve the performance is the most acute utilizing multi chords though now we have many calls in a machine there wave is the most forward fortunately there for example unique home use the multi process and a puma establishment and the recently appeared the falcon is the multi fiber to utilize that improve the performance so the concurrency the key to the future now ruby has threads and fibers but unfortunately we have the jail which is the global interpreter lock that means the only ones where that time can be excused because of that and of the virtual machine has many many shared status so that running running these threads without flux which will easily cross your program or maybe I just thought that locks that's not good so that we need some new computers in order for the future concurrency execution of the Ruby one of them is the guild or isolate the guild is the codename of the project and we were trying to name it here but I had we get the complain from the gaming industry we use the guild so that we might be renaming it so the guild is the kind of the object space which can be isolated from the other guilds and we don't have any sharing project the communications is stopped via channels we don't have locks we don't have we don't see the box and then you can kind of think of the web workers or isolate in JavaScript lady is multi course if you intensive tasks and then trying to make them up five widows friends you know separating object space is kind of heavy burden but we are trying to make it efficient enough the other idea is auto fiber or we are not Sonia are satisfied within that name but maybe we name it whatever the naming is pretty difficult in the computer science that it is the kind of friend but a complex it's only happening with our operations and with no time slicing so that means that it is far easier to maintain than spirits there that is there to avoid eye of logic but that can be used to the Iowan changed us so that we're grocery of waiting dark current spells in Ruby I think we introduce the girls or isolate two for CPU intensive tasks and then you can use the auto fiber or whatever to for stereo in decibels they may be upset - yeah that is our attempt to improve the performance how about bigger teams a product issue one project started will be is productive for its which teaches or its rich set of dance or its flexibility like metaprogramming but as the project rolls just becomes a burden and a test increase in size this issue aside takes more time and then to be honest I hate tests yeah I do write it yeah I'm not going to ignore them but I don't like them it's not dry so but we do the right test anyway but I want to be more productive what other long is try the other language faces face similar issues or problems challenges but the PHP justify printing without intruders anti static typing is better the that it's quite hard these days the final three are the type on patience javascript in the typescript which is the site of a static type version of the line so what should we do what should we be community do I don't have ambition like if you're - yeah they're great language they they are more popular than movie what did he know I hate that Vanessa Leu because it's not dry you know you ruby program currently run without any type condition so that it's not fundamentally needed you know it is there to find more bugs oh yeah so that yeah we don't we don't make a compromise here so that because it's not needed in the Ruby programmers wrong without - patience so it's it's flour already so that we have a clock or we three we are going to introduce that component to support the status fighting free which it is the first one is the type D features syntax the second one will have deep in some of officials for libraries a certain height for profiler to join the RB fires and as the third one tickets type definition syntax is the separate file that contains that the type information of your ruby program or the target the separate file that disparate sites that is an argument I assert a verified the person modules and the interface which [Music] is quite that kind of I have to prepare the AVI file here but I have no time I didn't have the internet connection during the flight so that yeah I will I will tell them if they do I'm sorry so that we are going to that pipe type decision file compiler which generate the type database or your then we are going to prepare the type definition for standard libraries and some major gems and we are also going to add the way type definition for your gems standard libraries James to be define then we are going to add a high profile up that profile is rely on that that techno technique which is called the abstract interpretation which is the kind of the in-between the lamb handshake at the start selector for example okay we have the method definition food which takes a one argument and the trustor of that segment then we call foo here with the argument of the fifteen the food is called with integer so that we have the information to is called with integer and the integer has it has integer has plus twelve method and which is OK that contains the find conflict with the type definitions so that you can find the type errors by abstracting identification at the same time we can generate the type description of the method foo here by using the the information of the invocation so that I prefer I can generate the RBI for your program and if we don't claim that the happiest description generated by Ty profiler is now the complete no no sufficient for your paycheck so you can we find them if you want so that by having those type information of your program in the separate files that you can render the more decent select articles for example the sorbets from stripe we are working without the big tip are so bad team from stripe so that we can share those can be type description file and have this really information with those articles and we also add up the key the member of the committee also worked at the different technical name Steve then use of in fact those articles use the audio type definitions and then different there has a different character for example sabe is written in Shiprock fast and pretty fast and mostly we all can't check and the sorbets type checking is mostly not known and it's supposed type annotation DSL as well and the Steep is the some kind of experimental project and within wordy and it uses the structure typing and by the nature of written in ruby so that it is more flexible to me we may also provide the yahoo with RBI borrower so that you write the ya-ya documentation in your in your comments then you can generate the type description so they're worried happen with them yeah you are you all day it would be probably under with you starting attached wouldn't be that nice without any typing type annotations if you refine type definition files you will have the better typing put in that'd be cool but we are working on it and the result is promising for me at least remember the goal of ruby is to make programming programming happy so we will do everything to make you happy performance improvement yes we'll do our best a better concurrency support yes we're the best keeping compatibility yeah we will do the best compatibility matters because are we are we keep ability because you know the breakage is like a pilot like a punishment you know by operating with me to be 263 all your programs your programs cause errors it's kind of punishment Alice unless we have create benefit yet we are not going to punish without folding your side now things we win so those things we will not change in with you oh we are discussing a long long time for long long discussion we have one long discussion for progress ring leader but the breakage are caused by these these are frozen string literals is not acceptable for at least for which me but that we just gave up so the probably in for future the real try to employed the question mark littell for the I represent the characters we just gave up and we try to obsolete the backbone which is kind of neat but they're you know kind of kind of low-level we tried but we gave up so that but uh we because we are trying to make it will be even better that we are going to other new features yes new features we are going to improve their keyword arguments yeah I have to confess that I regret some part of the qrx it's kinda confused for example like this M takes two arguments which one is the argument the fashion element the other is the keyword Rockets then the print those to the fu called method M with key compile what what should happen that we this getting fusing them because the right now keyword arguments are implemented by the hash object added to the end of the at your argument fist but it is pretty primitive and no work well with static site added that kind of the hockey curious will not work well with this backpack so we will revisit them in the Ruby 3.0 we're working to reduce the backward compatibility but this is I think the only major infertility incompatible since in this week and we are going to increase it for parameters like this at one after one represent the first argument yeah this it is agree and we are working on the characters but we are going to add something and we are going to depart at math not regular expression we already have there for a long time but as in your functional programming line like this we use case and in your this is current prototype the if object is the argument the first which first argument is there a simple food which is which match and the second argument is assigned to the variable a and if if object is the the argument is the single simple element so that it means much the second class and if objects is anything else which much is that the underscore yeah yeah panting so that we are going to kind of change to make movie even if they okay we need to survive to provide benefit will be using me and to sustain our lives you know it's okay if Ruby dies it's okay for most of you because of that okay you can change their safe either which outfit or whatever but for me it's crucial yeah Ruby survival is pretty much important for me at least and some cool comedians who who work full time we're for me and the Ruby survivor is also good for you you don't have to migrate just your service so there it is good things we have to survive so there okay so that we have to survive we have to adapt to change that we don't have to be the most smart language we don't have to be most at the fastest language but we have to adapt the situation around us we will keep moving forward wisely and not only the Ruby is not only driven by being myself but it's driven by community so that to the Ruby is designed here this line in to exist here to make you and make us happy and to make the world better place yeah [Applause] yea thou don't be removed that's okay that's okay magic comment is alive but it's not the default any other question there yes yeah you know the for interactive programming like I are we fry things that sometimes writing the block parameters that they know bar things it's kind of kinda you know the burden that so there it is for that trial in tracking sessions not for the you know the real the long live the Ruby frosting I gotta say the luggage like a guru be has the the implicit argument of it it is it is our trial of oppressive if implemented it for the definition for the thief just for the kiss Pittman so you have to adapt except everything in in argument they probably in the future we will be [Music] the latest one is the better so the current right now there will be two point six the best movie any I don't know the community you know the wind I attend the conferences like this so that so many people come come up to be and as they say the sake and a thankful Ruby for making my career better or by making my programming partner game something like that that is my own [Applause] [Music]
