**Everything started with the idea of making web applications simpler and easier. It was David Heinermaier Hansson who put forward his concept and found other enthusiasts who, as the _Rail Core_**_ _**team, created and expanded the _Ruby on Rails Framework_, a powerful development platform today. Since that time, numbers of web developers have been using the _Rails _and benefiting from many improvements.**

Now, we are close to trying new solutions as, at the 2015 _Rails Conference_ in April, David Heinermaier Hannson announced _Rails 5_, introducing some features added to this new version, which include _Rails API_ and _Action Cable_. New directions, taken by the _Rail team_, stem from some changes that _Ruby_, as a programming language, has been undergoing over the years, and are intended to take advantage of these changes. One path is improving speed; for example, _Ruby 2.2.0_ enabled its garbage collector to pick up symbols to reduce memory consumption. Also, new _Incremental GC_ will help to save on memory consumption on _Rails_ applications. It is said that _Rails 5_ will work with Ruby _2.2.2_ and newer versions. Besides, we will see some new syntax, adopted from _Ruby 2.2.0._ (e.g., Keywords, Arguments or Module#prepend).

Some other modifications to improve speed concern _API_ deprecation and cleanup. They comprise removal of the following _APIs_: _Action Mailer_, _Active record_, and _ActionPack _assertions as well as dead code and unnecessary tests (Chaves, 2015). Other factors that improve performance include fewer object allocations, immutable strings freezing, unnecessary dependencies deletion, and common operations optimization. As it was announced, _Rails 5_ also introduces new functionalities and new _API_, integrated into the framework, which results in no need for additional gems (Chaves, 2015).

The list of changes that have already been implemented or are still under development is much longer than we managed to mention in this short discourse. So are our expectations about the benefits, resulting from the presented improvements.
