I think most of the things you say sound like you haven't worked with either.
Few people are moving to pure JS front-end. Some are, some write blogposts about it, but the majority of people isn't. Some are even moving back, a year or so ago there were a lot of blogposts about that kind of stuff.
Rails offers a lot of interesting things in the M and C parts of the MVC pattern (Object persistence, REST endpoints, ...). People even write books about the topic ( https://learn.thoughtbot.com/products/1-backbone-js-on-rails https://learn.thoughtbot.com/products/1-backbone-js-on-rails )
Ruby and Python are pretty similar and as with Java and C++, there is space for both. I personally like Ruby more, but I guess that's just a matter of style.
