Is Ruby on Rails dead in 2023? #shorts

For many web developers, Ruby on Rails has been dead for quite a while in terms of popularity and coolness.

I got a job working as a rails developer last year and I'm making more than I have ever made in my life. There are so few people that are proficient in the rails and Ruby and there is definitely a demand.

its funny how every new hot JavaScript backend framework is just a half complete copy of Rails

Ruby on Rails is the future! Wait and see!

It would have been a greater short if you briefly explained what hotwire is ;(

I had a hard time clearing the interviews. Spent time in preparing for interviews, but it seemed like no matter how much time & effort I put in, the interviewers wanted more!

Rails morto? Eu só tenho a agradecer pelo poderoso ecossistema do rails, que foi capaz de me dar a possibilidade de mudar de vida, criando diversas soluções rápidas e seguras. Meu maior porblema atualmente é escalabilidade de monolitos.

I hope you're right. I'm doing TOP right now, and I'm (practically speaking), done with the Foundations section. I'm not sure whether to go into the JS path or the Ruby one. The Ruby one looks like it's more interesting, but everybody seems to be into JS and so I'd like to natually cash in on that (edit: spelling)

Ive found Stimulus is only good for sprinkles of JS over html. Once it gets even a little bit complex using a framework like react is faster and I find it easier to use. If youre just building a simple crud app, Stimulus has advantages.

Rails is honestly most mature framework out there for web development / api development

im still confused choosing ruby or js or go for first lang

Ruby is definitely not for me. A lot of concept in Ruby made me confuse. Like I can't differentiate when is it expression or statement. Using symbol in function name definition (def isTrue?, def width=), define property setter or getter in a class is not intuitive for me, the Symbol usage is not clear and intuitive. Also when I learn Rails when giving validation to property in class (model class I think), I need to invoke certain validation function in a class. INVOKE inside a class, not inside a method. I have lost it and give up. Much prefer static type language like C#, more make sense.

Hotwire will be just unusable under a decent load...

[AllInForYah]

Are you from the future? Last I checked it was 2022!

[PixyTech]

Hotwire is not a new concept. And it will not save ruby

Who is this new guru...he has no idea about ror
