Rails is in the same state as Java - it's still there, but people don't talk about it much.

- halfmatthalfcat 5y agoTo be fair, Java has been evolving at a much more rapid pace over the past 5 years and has started to creep back into conversation. Pressure from Scala and Kotlin have been pushing it to evolve (for the better).
- javajosh 5y agoOh yes, and I was glad to see recent Java GC improvements get some press. Java's big win over Ruby and Python is that Java is fully specified such that anyone could write a new implementation and mechanically check if it is compatible. (AFAIK both Ruby and Python say "my implementation is the specification".) (JavaScript is a bit of an oddity since it has a formal language spec, but NOT a formal virtual machine spec.)
