It's the first day of RubyKaigi 2023 in Matsumoto Japan! Before Matz kicked off his keynote, Aaron Patterson (@tenderlove) and I sat down to discuss the conference, his experience at Keyboard Kaigi, what he's looking forward to at the conference. We also went into detail about the next generation of Ruby parsers, the challenges Ractor has faced since its debut, and why UTF-8 is such a sociopolitical issue in East Asian countries that need multiple bytes to encode their languages' characters.
This interview was part of @TestDouble's Field Report for the event. Check it out here: blog.testdouble.com/field-reports/ruby-kaigi
