I liked the article, but I'm confused: RoR hasn't taken over the world?

  Quick fact checking: Job offers on Dice.com: Java: 16837 Javascript: 10161 C#: 8011 Ruby: 1707 Ruby on Rails: 679 Scala: 82 Market share on Tiobe: Java (#1): 18.5% C (#2): 16.27% Ruby (#11): 1.48% Scala: not in the top 20 So, the article is right: Ruby on Rails is still quite niche. (can't believe HN won't let me format this comment better than that)

    This data is not picked fairly. I suggest we only look into webdev jobs, then Ruby should be somewhere at the top.

      Look at the position of Javascript. It's fair to say it's used exclusively for web development (node.js is quite marginal) and it still tops the job chart. Ruby on Rails would be there as well if it were mainstream.
