You know what is fractured? Node js and the entire JS ecosystem, frontend backend everything. The only worthy thing JS Ecosystem has ever built is React. And even that is an inspiration from the clojurescript world. Ruby on Rails is a class in itself, but we are completely left behind in Machine learning. Too much focus of Web framework., and this is not good news, if we dont catchup newer apps will be build on Python simply because the backend ML is build on that so teams will naturally choose teh same technology.
Well put. Truth is a good RoR dev will do in a day (Rails 7 + Stimulus + Strada) what 10 engineers can using React or Java. As you need less ruby engineers to build an app, less of these jobs are available and startups starts thinking of hiring where the masses already are JS, but also python for the AI part
There is ZERO as in 0 jobs with Rails in Canada, and Shopify is a Canadian company. Rails is dead bruh. Saying it's like Java is too funny coz Java has jobs, Rails doesn't
Rails has jobs, granted it may not have street credibility in Canada but a lot of startups in the US still favor Ruby/ROR for development time. You could know more languages to increase your opportunities. I use Ruby, Node & Go daily.
Always a pleasure to hear from Eileen

Agreed
rails is a web framework, python & javascript are languages

Exactly ! A quick search showed me only 132 jobs in Canada, and since 132 == 0, I choose Java.
dead country
Rails is now die
Yes.
Why?
That sentence makes as much sense semantically as it does grammatically.
Rails is not dead, rails is just stable and mature like Java
Rails is not scable like java spring boot@@MosesJeromeCLucas
