I can say that 100% Ruby is not dead. don't believe the hype. The community ist growing as fast as it used to, but its still growing. RoR is now a mature framework, and sr. ruby developers still make a pretty hefty salary. Sure, there are other up and comers, and I dabble in them. But ruby still pays my bills. I am an avid go-lang writer, and i use it when its right to do so. But I will bet you dollars to donuts, I can build you a working MVP in 1/10th the time, and 10x the stability with ruby and rails.
I do love Node, and react. and I think thats a great stack as well. But ruby will always be my first love.
As far as I know, I heard that people aren't making a lot of new projects in Ruby, they are still making but the number is getting lower and most of the ruby developers usually maintain legacy code. Sad, I never got to experience Ruby though, Ruby developers seems to love the heck out of it.
Hi, I'm developer from Taiwan but now living in Toronto. I always like simple things. My hobby is to make knowledge very simple and easy to understand.
As I said. Ruby is great. And it has a great community. I enjoy my work. there are rare occasions where I like something in another language.
It has to do with the scope I work in. Im not building ATC systems. I'm not building medical devices. Im not building radar systems. I build Web Apps. :)

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Isn't Ruby, like dead? I used it a little when I had to write some Shopify script though.
Maybe in the future.
