Issue #20238 has been updated by hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA). We should close this because @k0kubun is working to update `BASERUBY` version for using new syntax. There is no reason why we use `prism` for it. ---------------------------------------- Misc #20238: Use prism for mk_builtin_loader.rb https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20238#change-106859 * Author: kddnewton (Kevin Newton) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- I would like to propose that we use prism for mk_builtin_loader.rb. Right now the Ruby syntax that you can use in builtin classes is restricted to the base Ruby version (2.7). This means you can't use a lot of the nicer syntax that Ruby has shipped in the last couple of years. If we switch to using prism to parse the builtin files instead of using ripper, then we can always use the latest version of Ruby syntax. A pull request for this is here: https://github.com/kddnewton/ruby/pull/65. The approach for the PR is taken from how RJIT bindgen works. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
