Having been working with Rails for a long time, now I wonder what could be the next cool thing looks like. The only improvement I'd like to see is about performances, and Elixir and Crystal are a good candidates to replace ruby in this

Among the 1% I bet the top 1% are weighting a lot too and so on. IMO the issue is pointless, it's just a statistical mirage, discussing about that won't make you richer or poorer, just time wasting. AND among the 1%, the majority
