With Laravel and Yii in service, does Ruby (Ruby and Rails) make sense?

Question

Ruby on Rails

I am learning Rails (just another skill) and I understand that I am re-reading the frameworks of Lara and Iy, and due to the fact that there are still gaps in Ruby, I do not fully understand all the magic of Rails, or the magic is such that I always catch myself thinking "Yes, why? why does it work like that? why is it all so obscure?!". I read books and articles, make demos, etc. and everything seems to work, but having experience with Lara and Yi, that when you want to do something differently, you have to suffer, and if with PHP you can still get under the hood or what kind of crutch to stick, then with Ruby I don’t understand at all what make. They write all the time that coding under Ruby is a buzz, but I don’t feel this buzz, maybe because PHP has inherited Ruby / Rails (?) in the form of these frameworks (Lara, Yi)? Or am I studying some other Ruby?)
Further, everything that is around confuses you, that you drag the administration of combat servers behind you, that you can’t get off with simple hosting, etc.
So is it worth climbing into Ruby today knowing more or less PHP?
I know that Rubists seem to get more, they seem to get high from the code, but I just can’t get into this religion, this is not the first language I study, but it is with him that the question “Why do I need it?”

Not

Answer 2

I switched from Rails to Laravel, and then to Symphony.
PHP is orders of magnitude more readable in the long run due to the fact that it lends itself well to static analysis.
Likewise with the .NET and Java ecosystems, I put PHP on a par with them.

So is it worth climbing into Ruby today knowing more or less PHP?

For general information. I sometimes use it, my favorite language, when I need to do something on my knee for 5-50 lines.

Answer 3

rails and ruby ​​are the same php+laravel only the syntax is different.
If you want something new and hipster then try golang. Even ardent python fans write something on it, which means the language is not as finished as it seems at first.
