Explore the concept of reimplementing Ruby's core library as a gem in this 30-minute conference talk from RubyConf 2022. Delve into the potential benefits and challenges of writing Ruby's core classes like String and Time in Ruby itself, rather than as part of the interpreter. Examine how this approach, originally pioneered by Rubinius and now maintained by the TruffleRuby team, could impact performance, readability, and debugging. Gain insights into the possibilities of a more flexible and accessible core library, and consider the implications for Ruby's future development and ecosystem.
