Yes, I think only Clojure surpasses the level of flow you can get with Ruby. Elixir also comes close.

Ah, Zend - the only framework to out-boilerplate Spring MVC.

It sounds like you'd be better off with something like Ruby's Hotwire/Stimulus, ASP.Net Core/Blazor or Elixir/Phoenix Live View.

Try https://indeed.com or http://www.modulecounts.com instead of Tiobe which is one of the worst metrics. The Rust community's module output is well ahead of both Ruby and Go so I'd say it's fairly mai

Indeed. It's not so long ago that Microsoft was draining the life out of open source with its bogus patents racket.

Any idea why .Net rates seem to be significantly lower than for comparable Java roles? Seems to be true in the UK according to Indeed.

What is it with grafting type systems onto dynamic, interpreted languages? Can't we just leave them alone? There are plenty of statically-typed languages if types are required.

Comparing Node with Ruby and Python is still apples to oranges. The nearest equivalent would be comparing Node with Rack (Ruby) or WSGI (Python).
