Ruby 3.3.0 Released

As is the tradition for the Ruby programming language, December25 is the date for new major releases; this year, Ruby3.3.0 was released. It comes with a new parser called "Prism" that is "both a C library that will be used internally by CRuby and a Ruby gem that can be used by any tooling which needs to parse Ruby code". The release also has many performance improvements, especially in the YJIT (Yet another Ruby JIT) just-in-time compiler. Ruby3.3 adds a new Ruby-based JIT, RJIT, that targets x86_64, which is available for experimental purposes. There are lots of other improvements and new features described in the announcement.
