You live in a bubble. Look up some numbers. From an empirical standpoint ruby is dying. Of course your anecdotal experience trumps all the numbers so my point is invalid.
- vidarh 8y agoI've seen plenty of numbers, and I see it being talked about less some places, more others. I don't see any evidence that it is dying. I see evidence there's less hype surrounding Rails, which is great, as I don't like Rails. In any case it is irrelevant, as what matters to my use of Ruby is that my "bubble" keeps expanding and paying more, and producing more software that I benefit from. If it's "dying" outside of that, then that's not a problem. This idea of languages "dying" to me indicates bubbles of your own - if there's one thing we've seen over most of the history of software it is that programming languages have remained incredibly persistent for decades even after they stop being used in new development, and we're certainly nowhere near that point for Ruby.
