    This week we’re talking to Marc-André Lafortune, a longtime contributor to the Ruby and Elixir communities, member of the Ruby and rubocop core teams including the core rubocop-ast engine, and creator of the backports gem.

    Yes, I was planning to add it to https://github.com/marcandre/backports, but I didn't have time to. I joined the army training and will be... let's say probably less active in the community for some time.

    You might be better off using Ruby 2.x for now and waiting until Ruby 3.0 is supported on either. Are there Ruby 3-specific features you need? There might be support for them via the backports gem.

    And that's really where it all started. We started using that parser gem and we wrote this tool called deep-cover, which was at the time the first branch covering tool. And it was a little bit crazy. Like if you raised an exception it would actually track that. It was pretty cool and about the same time, the core team was working on a similar tool in C so they both came out around the same time.

What are some alternatives?
