Since lua has become an increasingly necessary dependency for many projects.
Like mpv, vlc, obs, wireshark, conky, ... (more than 100 projects on SBo)
Can we expect to have it in slackware?
I believe it's not too simple as (like with python earlier ?) some projects are for lua5.1, or 5.4 and anything in between. I had a few modified slackbuilds that made SBo builds install along each others but I guess that's the maintainers' job.
Anyway I would like it (I could have both luakit and neomutt lua capability without lot of work <3 )
I'm on 15.0 after a few years away from linux and i'm honestly surprised as i have not logged on my windows account since i have installed 15.0 a week ago. Managed to install everything i had on windows for gaming and productivity with superior performance and now added excitement.

Not sure about this one. Arch builds asciidoctor-2.0.17 against ruby-3.0.3. Maybe the respective building methods make a difference here? In any case if this is actually a ruby version issue, it should be reported upstream (i.e. to Dan Allen), I think.
PS And maybe a ruby upgrade will break existing gems? Not a concern for Slackware which ships only one AFAIR, but for me it would be one as Slint64-15.0 will include 26. OK, rather rhethorical argument as it will not be based on -current...
Archlinux remains under ruby-3.0 cause some gems not ready for 3.1 thats all.
If ascdoctor builds under 3.1.1 then we can go.
Some gens i see not build native extensions under ruby 3.1 , but slackware only have 1 , if nothing break , we safe , if not safe we see on build time as "error"

@USUARIONUEVO: Whether it be or not the right time to upgrade ruby in Slackware-current is not a concern for me, I just pointed out that this upgrade is/was not necessary to build asciidoctor.

Reason: s/python/ruby/, thanks USARIONUEVO.
