- carmate383 8y agoSoon becomes irrelevant, or is already irrelevant?
- joelbluminator 8y agoNaah Rails is here to stay - the momentum around the project is still huge and too many companies rely on it. Even if dhh did a Guido and left, there's a big army of contributors that would replace him. If I need to guess though, in 10 years dhh is still involved with Rails to some degree.
- pankajdoharey 8y agoStaying power has less to do with relevance and more to do with legacy apps. There will always be some people working on any given technology. Be it Spring, Smalltalk, Common Lisp or ...some X technology. The question is, is it relevant? In an increasingly Multicore world where you try to extract more performance out of your CPU's Ruby may not cut it and by induction Rails. The future web devs would require writing better multithreaded code probably on the JVM. Clojure, Erlang or Go are the few awesome options that come to my mind.
