As a C#er who was interested in switching to rails: rails jobs pay less. And the kind of companies using it seem to be ones falling apart at the seams and interviewing was frustrating compared to C# jobs. I am not saying Rails is bad but more there is a common causation. Perhaps Rails being a go to for quick MVPs.
- neonsunset 2y agoI'm curious, what led to the interest in the switch? Was it pre Core 3.1 or recent?
- datascienced 2y agoIt was 2013 ish IIRC so precore. Honestly probably just boredom at work. A new language will keep it interesting! And rails is a nice side project language.
- neonsunset 2y agoAh, okay, makes perfect sense. .NET stopped me from moving out at the very last moment by getting good around .NET Core 3.1 time :) (also by giving enough low level toys to stay interested)
- badpun 2y agoC# is mostly adopted by large, hugely profitable companies which were penetrated by Microsoft sales teams, whereas Ruby companies are the opposite - startups which have made it past the startup stage. Some of them are successful, but majority are small and not that profitable.
