I wouldn’t say that at all. I know several successful indiehacker types who started in the past five years and have had success with Rails. Several of them started with JS first, but Ruby is still growing on an absolute basis, despite having a smaller portion of the market as a whole than it did a decade ago. I suspect a part of this is that startups that use Rails (or Phoenix or Laravel) don’t need as many devs as startups doing a mix and match of many libraries instead of a full stack web framework.
