My comment on the article has not been accepted yet, so I'll add it here... So many things wrong here…where to start? Indeed trends: you’re looking at relative growth but don’t show overall numbers. Here, let me help you with that: http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=rails%2C+node.js&l= http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=rails%2C+node.js&l= Not only is Rails still more popular than node.js, it has a similar bump in recent results. And that brings me to my next point: Indeed trends are practically useless because they’re measuring word frequency rather than actual demand. For example, apparently “garbage” is as frequently (or more frequently) mentioned in job postings as “node.js”: http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=rails%2C+node.js&l= http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=rails%2C+node.js&l= . I guess that means node.js is garbage. Google searches: search numbers generally indicate new interest in a subject rather than overall usage. For example, “Trump” is one of the biggest search terms right now, even though he doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of becoming POTUS. Performance numbers: I can’t comment on this since you don’t provide any information on what’s being tested or methodology. You might as well be graphing total numbers of watermelon eaters for each language. And this doesn’t even consider JRuby, which is faster at steady-state Rails requests than CRuby on the same isrubyfastyet.com you attempt to use in a comment to claim it’s slower. Huh?? Rails is static: This is absurd on the face of it…Rails has been one of the fastest moving frameworks, and most people in the know often wonder if it moves too fast. You’re completely out of touch here. And speaking of out of touch, you call JRuby “floundering” and “abandoned” when we’ve had dozens of consistent releases over the past year. Wow. Are there any actual facts in this article? Bootcamps: Are you saying that people shouldn’t use a language or framework that’s good for new developers to use? Really? If that’s the case, perhaps we should all be writing webapps in C++. We don’t want any new developers to join us, that’s for sure! Honestly, you need to get your facts straight before writing something like this. It’s like a parody article.
