Puppet, chef, sys-admin-y type things. Jekyll, Sinatra. Mruby (embeddable Ruby).
Homebrew and YAST (Suse Linux) are written in Ruby. Stripe uses Ruby but not Rails.
Basically anything you'd use Perl for, + a bunch more uses, and of course Rails and web stuff.
- nunez 5y agoi believe homebrew is transitioning to golang. all of the tools you’ve mentioned above that are seeing less usage, unfortunately :(
- poisonta 5y agoStripe (and Shopify) too? Check how many top YC companies use Ruby.
- berkes 5y agoThe question was how many use Ruby, but not Rails.
- Mikeb85 5y agoHomebrew's repo is still almost all Ruby with no signs of Go anywhere. A bit of Swift... And fair enough, tools come and go. Ruby is still the best write-once language I've used though, and Rails is still a top web framework.
- mekster 5y agoYou forgot Discourse and GitLab.
- berkes 5y agoThose are Rails, though. As is mastodon.
