Ahaha I see what you mean, a bit dramatic but I get where you're coming from. I agree that Ruby is not objectively the best language to work on in terms of future (pretty good in terms of career though if you can go international, since there's so few of us and no competition, but only works for the next 10 years I guess).
If you like the Ruby syntax and ethos more than the other languages though, just go for it... Life is not always about optimization, it's about having fun as well ! And Ruby is definitely fun 🤡
If you want to optimize your career path like crazy and don't really have any preferences, by all means, go JS, Python, Rust and all that jazz ! I don't really need to optimize my career so I just focus on what I like doing and what makes me happy ☮
I really liked ruby too, until they really messed up building a type system. But it's not just about optimising for your career (although that is really important, money makes life easier), it's optimising your present and your future.
I love programming languages so much, and that's why I want to keep evolving, helping my career is just a byproduct of that.
I'm just disappointed the creators of ruby were so bad at evolving the language that it got trounced by things that came about much later. So much wasted promise. If you're enjoying hanging out on your sinking ship then by all means hang around for a bit longer, but don't fool yourself long enough that you drown with it.

You can't sink when you have a whole armada of boats 😎
There's no armada, just a waste of time and a waste of priorities: youtu.be/_F2k1zwDymw
You're pretty stubborn.. I was hinting at the fact that when you work with multiple programming languages, you're golden. No waste of time here
