Ruby after Rails

on YouTube ↗31m

" summary

Claim: Rails-style server rendering is declining as apps become API backends and client frameworks grow, but Ruby itself persists. Evidence: existing alternatives JRuby and Celluloid exist yet concurrency needs VM features — deep freeze deep copy ownership transfer — plus concurrent data structures and a memory model. Observations: ActiveRecord callback complexity (uploader: ActveRecord::Base callback spaghetti) drives people to other languages, a diaspora spreads ideas back to Ruby, and a community-focused site called human development is launched.
