I still see a lot of Rails contract work out there, roughly as many roles as ever before. I've thought about switching to Elixir work but I just don't see the demand there yet. There's 2 orders of magnitude more Rails roles than there are Elixir jobs. That might change with time hopefully. I can only speak for myself but I think Rails 7 is the most exciting release for years. Hotwire, Stimulus, et al are finally a compelling reason to do frontend work in Rails again vs the last few years of using it mainly as an API for JavaScript SPA frameworks. Ruby 3 finally provides a decent solution for async IO (with fully parallel ractors a work in progress). Tooling is also much improved over a few years ago with Sorbet and Treesitter AST based stuff. Rails might be boring but boring gets the job done.
