I'm in a similar boat to you - I've built non-trivial side projects in other tech stacks, but I'm a JVM developer at heart. I've been conflicted about whether to dig into ruby/rails more to jump ship recently because of the philosophy in the community.
I love kotlin as a language and enjoy working with spring boot but the hype in the JVM community around JSON API + React SPA does make me wonder whether I'm moving away from it philosophically.
I'm particularly excited by Spring Native right now. Having a Spring Boot app startup quickly and use less memory will fit heroku-like PaaS environments perfectly.

- stepbeek 5y agoThanks for sharing! This line made me laugh out loud: "JRuby is known to consume more memory than MRI. You may want to run standard-2x dynos for optimal performance."
- bestinterest 5y agoSame boat as both of you guys I find myself in this weird world of loving Go's simplicity, loving Rails get shit done mentality + community and Java reliability (but SpringBoot makes me sad). I'm glad I ventured out of my Java only mindset however. Lots of interesting things going on but decision paralysis sucks.
- RangerScience 5y agoSame same but different; I've worked in many, many different languages, but in my heart I'm a Rubyist. Definitely second the "things I've learned from other languages", so much so that I gave a talk about it: https://rubyconf.org/program/sessions#session-1198 https://rubyconf.org/program/sessions#session-1198 (I don't know when the recording goes up :P )
