Well, I don't mean 'dead' by falling out of favor, just trying to gauge the pulse of new projects. Of course Ruby still exists, heck even Fortran has new development jobs, but I wouldn't call it a 'hot' language. Sure that comparison isn't fair or accurate, but an observation. Rails props up Ruby in a similar fashion existing codebases and Android do Java.
