Seems like the next generation of programmers has relearned the lessons of poor package management and ecosystem fragmentation, and that it wasn't worth giving up for a slightly simpler or slightly faster language. Also, ruby did get a lot faster in the last couple years, which inspires people to want to help make it even faster. When someone finds gold, everyone else rushes in to look for more.
