I won't tell if you should or should not accept this job. However: * Rails is not fading. Just take a look at the job offerings, almost 1 in 4 is about Rails.

Rails IMHO has no direct competitor as of TODAY. At some point in time might be superseded, but I see a solid dev-cycle, DHH and the rails community are fairly active + ruby is really awesome for numerous other tasks. * Java is a very requested language. You should be able to get other jobs if you know Java. * You should really dig into JavaScript as that market for JS is huge and it's only going to grow.
