Once the 8th most popular language, now it's 14th:

The Rails ecosystem is stagnating, according to this report:
www.slideshare.net/zykin-ilya/bullshit-on-rails
Is it really that bad and is it not very justified to develop on rails in the long run?

And Swift has already reached the popularity of ruby =)

The idea of the report is "there are no ready-made full stack solutions for building blogs". Well, not blogs are usually written in ruby.
For 7 rather different projects, I have not yet encountered any of the problems mentioned in the report (there was simply no need for a serious system of comments and distribution of roles)

The main reason for the stagnation is the lack of personnel, for the second year we are looking for ruby artists and it is very bad with them.
That is, the problem is not in the language or technology, but in the fact that no one teaches rubists in the same universities.

Sorry for the association (inspired by the "report"):
1) We take an awesome set of tools (rails)
2) We stock up with cool nozzles for it (we're not lamers! Put a sledgehammer nozzle on a hammer, a circular nozzle on a grinder and a mortar nozzle on a drill ) (top popular gems)
3) Now let's try to quickly hammer in a nail! (scaffold blog)
4) Voila! Does not exceed. Tool kit - bullshit!
The author of the report seems to have been doing "blogs in 15 minutes" all his life, and his goal was to use the coolest and most cumbersome tools for this.
I advise the author of the question not to take this "report" at least somewhat seriously.
As for the popularity of Ruby - 1) it doesn't end with rails. Look at the list of gems that unix-users use every day! 2) yes, it is decreasing. But not because ruby is in decline, but because young technologies are gaining momentum. By the way, among them there are no direct analogues for rails, IMHO. 3) ruby-way will live. Just like unix way and sql. Simply because it will, and no matter how many people will say otherwise.
