Keynote: Ruby is Dead
summary
The provocative headline Ruby is dead frames a different claim: language features aren’t the bottleneck, application-level abstractions are. Evidence includes PHP 7’s typing and interfaces and Java’s DI/overloads, then concrete Ruby ecosystems: dry-rb (validation, containers), Hanami (routing/actions) and especially Trailblazer operations, which model business workflows as explicit steps with diagrams, result objects and BPMN support for clearer error paths and easy testing. mRuby surfaces as a cleaner Ruby variant for building higher-level tools. The outcome is maintainable, enterprise-grade architecture rather than a different language.
