It’s fascinating to me to see that nowhere in this thread, at the time of writing, is mentioned what used to be the darling of web development, a language that seduced many ruby developers to crossover: Clojure. The times have changed.
To do Clojure web development was to noodle around stitching together various libraries piecemeal, i.e. the same thing that everyone who resists proper batteries-included web frameworks does.
I think Elixir/Phoenix may be seducing more of them these days.
Those folks are now bragging about Elixir, or maybe they jumped again into Gleam now.
