Hi @phillip1882 - no mass delete, just not much activity on Ruby topic .

The changes around Ruby's threading model have mainly come from improvements in performance, scheduling, and how concurrent tasks are handled. Earlier versions had limitations that affected how multiple operations could run together, especially for heavy processing work. Modern updates have made thread management more reliable, while developers often choose other approaches depending on the workload. For background tasks, waiting operations, and handling multiple requests, threads are still useful. Understanding the execution model and choosing the right method helps avoid performance issues in Ruby applications.
