The future of the web isn't "everything in JavaScript" - it's everything in whatever damn language you like.
The JS runtime is nearly, or is now perhaps, perfectly capable of being what your own language "compiles" to - for instance, I love Ruby so I'm betting on Opal (execute REAL client-side Ruby). Others like JS variants such as CoffeeScript or TypeScript.
So...Rails isn't going to get killed - it's simply going to evolve to support rich real-time client + server apps written in Ruby, period. That's my take on it, anyway, and that's what I'm planning on.
