Ruby 3.4 released
Continuing its tradition of yearly major releases on December 25, the Ruby programming-language project has released Ruby 3.4.0 (followed quickly by 3.4.1, which simply updates the version number). Ruby 3.4 includes lots of changes, including the addition of it as a less-confusing shorthand for _1 as a block parameter, switching to Prism as the default parser, adding the Happy Eyeballs version 2 algorithm to the socket library, just-in-time (JIT) compiler (YJIT) improvements, garbage-collection modularization, and more.

Stenberg: Dropping hyper
Curl maintainer Daniel Stenberg announces that the curl project will be dropping hyper, its experimental HTTP backend written in Rust, due to lack of developer interest. While the experiment itself is deemed a failure, I think we learned from it and improved curl in the process. We had to rethink and reassess several implementation details when we aligned HTTP behavior with hyper. libcurl parses and handles HTTP stricter now. Better.
