Sounds like it was whether Python or Ruby is more popular back then, which was won by Python but then people still preferred Ruby because of its elegant language design and those voices seem finally heard around enough. I even see Crystal (grammatically similar compiled language) gaining attention. I do love Ruby syntax and used it on several occasions but it's typing system seems far from elegant compared to TypeScript in my opinion which doesn't want me to switch to Ruby at this point.
