The last part of the release announcement[1] says:

I'm looking forward to using some of the developer experience stuff, such as default RuboCop or default GH actions for new apps. Not sure if it's everyone's cup of tea though.
I think there has to be some investments into the DX, I mean look at Ruby, it's lacking so much compared to other languages. Basic autocomplete is barely working, it's probably because the nature of Ruby but it still adds friction to the workspace.
Browser version guards[1] seem a bit scary: it just does basic user-agent parsing rather than actual feature detection, which is not exactly a great thing for the web as a whole.

To paraphrase Steve Jobs, 'Rails is like a glass of ice-water in React Hell!
Also wondering about YJIT. It has been a relatively quiet year so far. Hopefully we have something exciting baking for 3.4
