Maybe this is because everyone has spent the last 10 years telling them that Rails is dead, they're stuck to a dead technology, and Go no wait Dart no wait Rust

- yebyen 8y agoYes. Literally ten minutes before Amazon announced their Lambda support for Ruby at this year's re:Invent conference, one of our lead architects who was watching the livestream sent out (and I quote) > I guess if you want to know which languages will dominate the industry going forward, just look at what Lambda supports. > AWS Lambda supports code written in Node.js (JavaScript), Python, Java (Java 8 compatible), and C# (.NET Core) and Go. Tongue firmly inserted in cheek, aimed directly at our large cohort of Ruby developers, as if to imply that we're mostly irrelevant to the future of the industry, and it shows in Amazon's lack of support for our ecosystems. Then immediately following that message, Amazon announced they have added support for Ruby... and PHP, and Cobol. And suddenly it's "I guess AWS is out of the choosing business." I'm still salty about this, forgive me please. But the refrain is tiresome, and it continues even today.
