What is replacing it?
- mooreds 2y agoFor startups? In my anecdotal experience, it's nodejs/javascript, but the HN data says python: https://www.hntrends.com/2024/may.html?compare=ruby&compare=python&compare=javascript&compare= https://www.hntrends.com/2024/may.html?compare=ruby&compare=... And I should be clear, it is really the declining sexiness of Ruby on Rails. Lots and lots of systems folks still use ruby. I personally think that Rails is one of the best languages for delivering a web based MVP, but if you look at the number of participants in the Boulder Ruby meetup, it is much lower than it was 10 years ago. We still have a number of folks (like me) who like ruby so much that even though they are not using it in their day job, they show up for the meetup.
