We need a Ruby Central which is not beholden to DHH and Shopify money but representative of the larger community. Why aren't the board of directors publicly elected, like Python? ruby.social/@adarsh/115215323757719…

Can you imagine what #ruby would look like if code of conduct violations were actually enforced? Especially against our white supremacists?

Super slick upgrade to LiveView 1.0.0, the `{ ... }` syntax in the body of templates is going to take some mental rewriting but nice to see the formatter step in and upgrade me (and its opt out able which is also nice to see)
