Practical but worrisome. The lack of central organization is part of what has protected the Ruby community from corruption, unlike Python (see the whole pipenv/Reitz episode)

Great news! Hopefully it can raise more money to help advance the language and tooling. Typescript as an example has been amazing for the JS community. Having something like that for Ruby would be a game changer. (Yes, I know Ruby 3 types)
As a long time Ruby fan, I support this. Good moves all involved.
