It's still good but that does not mean you should choose it.
While Ruby on Rails still offers strong productivity benefits, the hiring landscape has shifted significantly, particularly here in Australia.
Experienced Ruby on Rails developers are increasingly scarce, as many have moved on to JavaScript, Python, or, as you say, Go. The talent pool is also saturated with AI-generated resumes that don’t translate to actual skills when you interview them.
If you struggle to hire Rails engineers now, it will only get harder as fewer new developers adopt the framework, and maintenance will become a challenge as the ecosystem shrinks.
Maybe it's a much larger pool elsewhere or if you can accept 100% remote.
