I honestly don't know, but Ruby does seem to be on its way out. It might be a long death since there are so many Ruby developers, but I think it is probably on the way out. The main reason is that Ruby doesn't do anything particularly well except it is easy to learn. There are several alternatives that are equally easy to learn now and have more compelling use cases. Time will tell of course, and I am most likely wrong.
