Keynote: Ruby is Dead
summary
Claim that "Ruby is dead" is rebutted with specifics: Ruby lacks native, high‑level application abstractions rather than language features, so projects build them—examples include dry‑rb validations, the hanami router/actions stack, and Trailblazer operations that model workflows as steps returning success/failure and mutate a single options object. A police consultancy chooses Ruby for a homogeneous Rails+Trailblazer stack over heterogeneous PHP because maintainability beats raw speed; Trailblazer renders executable diagrams for error tracks and orchestration, letting tests call operations as stable APIs.
