I love ruby, built my first business on Ruby/Rails as a Monolith and it purrs along all day, every day. Easy to use and maintain, but I'll never do it again.
Hiring is just too hard. I'm currently building my next product on Typescript. It's much easier to find talent that knows JS/TS, and having the same language across the entire stack cannot be overstated.
The lack of types is also something that I just don't want to deal with anymore.
The JS ecosystem is no where near as stable or mature as ruby's, but it still has everything I need and I have enough experience to avoid the bad parts.
I love ruby as a developer, but not as a business/product owner.
