Which version of rails are you referring to?

It's really funny how there's this wannabe hype around Hotwire when in fact this is nothing else than good old ajax from the 2000s reinvented again by people who probably never had to deal with ajax. I do believe that Ruby is the best available programming language currently, with a bunch of awesome features pretty much unmatched by anything else. However, I also think that Rails has not improved much since its early days, and while it was good back then, it's very outdated now. Hotwire is a feature that will be the last nail in its coffin, and will totally kill what's left. So people, do learn Ruby, but I'm not so sure about Rails. It's a shame there is no more modern frameworks for Ruby, delivering what's actually needed for state of the art webapps today. Rails is missing a lot of it, unfortunately.

Well, there are no jobs that offer working with RoR so, as much as I love RoR, it is not worth.
