Genuinely curious, how is Ruby any better there? You can build usable front ends in either language. I care about delivering usable software. Interactive front ends for the sake of it is not a good use of effort. If your app and situation justify it, okay, but it isn’t a hard requirement like many other aspects of full stack. Just depends on what you need for good UX. A pile of Javascript isn’t a requirement there. I also stopped caring about developer titles a long time ago, that is a straw man. Real full stack devs with adequate experience in every aspect are unicorns anyway. E: I don’t even hate JS it’s fine, just not a great investment of time for a lot of apps. And the ecosystem and getting it deployed is an absolute chore.

Without fullstack knowledge, in this case, if you don't care how the frontend will fetch data, how can you optimize the backend (just curious). Fullstack knowledge is nessessary for optimized backend code, seriously. Ruby has elegant syntax and structure for functional programming as well as OOP, not like broken Python (1-line lambda and broken OOP).

  Your bias against Python is full of prejudices, I wonder where you got the idea that all Python devs lack knowledge about FE?

    It's real. I know about 3 people doing Python, and all of them hate JS for no reason.
