Three days of Beautiful Ruby, Weird Ruby, and Living with the Robots @rubyconf. Lots of feelings about where Ruby is headed. YJIT. Ractors. AI that doesn't feel like a compromise. A generation who's never known life without Rails. What excites you most about Ruby's future?
RubyGems.org now handles tens of billions of gem downloads a year with modern auth, verifiable publishing, and 24/7 coverage. Thanks to Ruby Shield, our 4-year security partnership with Shopify. Here's our reflection as it wraps up: buff.ly/YwpC9qK

Every year the Scholars and Guides program reminds us why we do this. This year's cohort showed up with curiosity, courage, and stories that made our hearts soar. Beautiful gems, every one. To every Scholar and Guide at RubyConf 2026: thank you. You belong here. Always have.
