I'm most excited for Enumerable#tally for counting occurrences of elements.
From the example in the release:
["a", "b", "c", "b"].tally
#=> {"a"=>1, "b"=>2, "c"=>1}
There's more about this change here (https://medium.com/@baweaver/ruby-2-7-enumerable-tally-a706a...). I probably do this a few times a week: list.each_with_object(Hash.new(0)) { |v, h| h[v.something] += 1 }
