TruffleRuby 34 achieves full compatibility with Ruby 3.4, implementing all features from its changelog including new methods and improved stack traces. The release delivers significant performance improvements with up to 23% faster parsing and a new Prism-based Ripper implementation offering 20-40x speedups. It also introduces lazy method deserialization to optimize startup times by delaying method compilation until first use.
