What is the evidence that Rails is dying? The programming bootcamp movement is primarily Rails-based, One Month Rails just came out of YC, and I know of at least one other S13 YC company who built their web app in Rails. What seems to have changed is that not every startup is being built with Rails anymore, which I'd say is a positive thing that does not mean Rails is dying.
- Mikeb85 13y agoThe hype is dying. I also think the web is moving beyond the Rails model...
- randomdata 13y agoThe hype is definitely dying, as it should. Rails is just months shy of being 10 years old. I find it kind of amazing that using Rails was even newsworthy within the past couple of years, given how long it has been in use. A startup choosing Rails to power their application today is like a startup choosing Linux to power their servers. It is not something worth reporting. It doesn't necessarily mean the usage is in decline though.
- the_watcher 13y agoThat's a good thing, right? Rails is a great tool for the projects that it should be used for. It should be picked on merits, not on hype.
