The "Ruby 3x3" promise, delivered on Christmas Day 2020.
Ruby 3.0 shipped on December 25, 2020, delivering on Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto’s long-stated “Ruby 3x3” goal of making Ruby three times faster than Ruby 2.0, alongside new concurrency tools like Ractor. Like the releases before it, it landed as part of The Christmas-release tradition. (Ruby 3.0.0 Released, ruby-lang.org)
