Came here for the DSL hate, and was not disappointed. Seems like isomorphic web development has warts no matter what language you choose. I'd say that Ruby still has a place building APIs for new projects, but having done both advanced REST APIs and GraphQL with Ruby, it's starting to make its way even out of my top five for getting the job done. The point has already been made, but if you're good at Ruby and you don't need to build something responsive, both plain Ruby and Rails have fine affordances for server side rendered views. There's still a lot of need for quick-and-dirty backoffice applications that don't need to delight the user. Of course, you get a lot more for free with Django's admin.
