ruby 3.0 or 2.7

ruby-talk
1

Hello,

for starting a new project (most web, a few backend scripts), should I use
the version 3.0 or 2.7?
does 3.0 have the most important advantages than 2.7? thank you.

Ruby 2.7 is approaching the end of its development lifecycle. Currently
2.7 is in the security maintenance phase. So, right now, no bugs will
be fixed except for security fixes. [2]

12 Apr 2022 - After this release, we end the normal maintenance phase of
Ruby 2.7, and Ruby 2.7 enters the security maintenance phase. This means
that we will no longer backport any bug fixes to Ruby 2.7 except security
fixes. - The term of the security maintenance phase is scheduled for a
year. Ruby 2.7 reaches EOL and its official support ends by the end of
the security maintenance phase. Therefore, we recommend that you start
to plan upgrade to Ruby 3.0 or 3.1. [1]

I don't see the date listed officially on the ruby homepage, but elsewhere
the eol date for 2.7 is listed as 31 Mar 2023. [3]

[1] Ruby 2.7.6 Released
[2] Ruby Maintenance Branches
[3] Ruby | endoflife.date

Hi!
There is a release page on www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/releases

My 2cents: use the latest release

Cheers

Personally, I would think 3.1 would be best.
