Ruby After Rails

on YouTube ↗29m

" summary

Claim: Rails-driven server-side rendering is shrinking as apps become JSON APIs for iOS and JavaScript MVC front ends, so Rails’s dominance is waning. Ruby still lacks VM-level concurrency primitives—Celluloid and JRuby help but four missing features (notably deep freeze and ownership transfer) keep concurrency brittle. Rubyists are experimenting with Go Elixir Rust Scala Haskell and bringing back ideas, and the thing that keeps Ruby alive is the Ruby community carrying language philosophy forward.
