It includes introductions of the speakers, a discussion of why Matz started developing mruby, challenges he faced, how mruby has progressed towards its goals, how it differs from Ruby, and examples of mruby's usage. Matz also answers questions about Ruby 3.0 and his strategies for Ruby ahead of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The discussion concludes with some lighthearted questions confirming legends about Matz, like his keyboard collecting hobby and getting stranded at an airport once due to an expired travel permit.
