  I have no direct source, that's just what I have noticed from reading blogs about switching to Rails and by people on Twitter embracing the new release. I've also noticed the engagement in posts regarding Rails has increased and been reading comments by users who've never tried Rails giving it a shot and found it pleasant to work with.

  Having been in the Rails community for seven years or so, I can say that there's been a lot more excitement and activity after Rails 7 (Hotwire stack). It doesn't seem that long ago, but we're already on Rails 8, which is now bringing a new round of excitement of its own. I've seen a ton of different "we're switching to Rails" posts floating around like these - * https://www.reddit.com/r/rails/comments/1dkcegr/im_switching_from_laravel_to_rails/ https://www.reddit.com/r/rails/comments/1dkcegr/im_switching... * https://www.reddit.com/r/rails/comments/1ah1b36/is_the_rails_revival_happening_right_now/ https://www.reddit.com/r/rails/comments/1ah1b36/is_the_rails... There's also the new Rails Foundation - https://rubyonrails.org/foundation https://rubyonrails.org/foundation and their new annual conference, Rails World, which has proved pretty popular - https://www.reddit.com/r/rails/comments/1fqizim/rails_world_2024_opening_keynote_david_heinemeier/ https://www.reddit.com/r/rails/comments/1fqizim/rails_world_... So, Rails ain't dead yet :)

  Personal anecdote, I recently got interested in rails again in the last 2 months after not touching it for 10 years. Like other commenters have said, the Hotwire stack plus the new “solid” stack of database adapters is really cool. The general ethos of simplifying the web stack and “compressing the complexity” as DHH says is really appealing. I’m migrating a personal project from python/svelte and it’s been a ton of fun so far.
