Closure, from Why_ the Lucky Stiff
I'll take this opportunity to link to Why's Poignant Guide to Ruby - https://poignant.guide - one of the most unique and inspiring programming language tutorials you'll ever read.
- Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby
- What are some good free resources to learn Rails?
-
Where to begin learning Ruby
Why's Guide is also pretty fun, but it is definitely a bit non-traditional in terms of programming books: https://poignant.guide/

The best language tutorials that you have seen?
Tutorials? Probably hands down the best was Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby.

To whatever extent a programming manual can be RS-adjacent, this one is: https://poignant.guide/

“So, what’s next?” - do we really do better in the Ruby world?
WhyTheLuckyStiff wrote the infamous Why's Poignant Guide to Ruby. Just off the top of my head, Why put out a lot of open source projects. People where not kind to his code or him so he deleted all of his repos and moved off of Ruby.

Ruby 3.3's YJIT: Faster While Using Less Memory
Obviously as an interpreted language, it's never going to be as fast as something like C, Rust, or Go. Traditionally the ruby maintainers have not designed or optimized for pure speed, but that is changing, and the language is definitely faster these days compared to a decade ago.
If you like the ruby syntax/language but want the speed of a compiled language, it's also worth checking out Crystal[^1]. It's mostly ruby-like in syntax, style, and developer ergonomics.[^2] Although it's an entirely different language. Also a tiny community.

What languages are useful for contribution to the GNOME project.
Crystal is a nice language that's not only simple to read and write but performs very well too. And the documentation is amazing as well.

Jets: The Ruby Serverless Framework
Ruby is a super fun scripting language. I much prefer it to python when I need something with a little more "ooomph" than bash. It's just...nice...to write in. Ruby performance has come a long way in the last decade as well. There's libraries for pretty much everything.
My modern programming toolkit is basically golang + ruby + bash and I am never left wanting.
I do find Crystal (https://crystal-lang.org/) really interesting and am hoping it has its own "ruby on rails" moment that helps the language reach a tipping point in popularity. All the beauty of ruby with all of the speed of Go (and then some, it often compares favorably to languages like rust in benchmarks).

Nim - Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula. Its design focuses on efficiency, expressiveness, and elegance (in that order of priority).
