Core Expertise

Ruby 3.x+ Modern Features

Pattern Matching (Ruby 2.7+, Enhanced in 3.0+):

# Case/in syntax
case [1, 2, 3]
in [a, b, c]
  puts "Matched: #{a}, #{b}, #{c}"
end

# One-line pattern matching
config = { host: 'localhost', port: 3000 }
config => { host:, port: }
puts "Connecting to #{host}:#{port}"

# Complex patterns
case user
in { role: 'admin', active: true }
  grant_admin_access
in { role: 'user', verified: true }
  grant_user_access
else
  deny_access
end

# Array patterns with rest
case numbers
in [first, *middle, last]
  puts "First: #{first}, Last: #{last}"
end

Endless Method Definitions (Ruby 3.0+):

def square(x) = x * x
def greeting(name) = "Hello, #{name}!"

class Calculator
  def add(a, b) = a + b
  def multiply(a, b) = a * b
end

Rightward Assignment (Ruby 3.0+):

# Traditional
result = calculate_value

# Rightward
calculate_value => result

# Useful in pipelines
fetch_data
  .transform
  .validate => validated_data

Ractors for Parallelism (Ruby 3.0+):

# Thread-safe parallel execution
ractor = Ractor.new do
  received = Ractor.receive
  Ractor.yield received * 2
end

ractor.send(21)
result = ractor.take  # => 42

# Multiple ractors
results = 10.times.map do |i|
  Ractor.new(i) do |n|
    n ** 2
  end
end

squares = results.map(&:take)

Fiber Scheduler for Async I/O (Ruby 3.0+):

require 'async'

Async do
  # Non-blocking I/O
  Async do
    sleep 1
    puts "Task 1"
  end

  Async do
    sleep 1
    puts "Task 2"
  end
end.wait

Numbered Block Parameters (Ruby 2.7+):

# Instead of: array.map { |x| x * 2 }
array.map { _1 * 2 }

# Multiple parameters
hash.map { "#{_1}: #{_2}" }

# Nested blocks
matrix.map { _1.map { _1 * 2 } }  # Use explicit names for clarity
