If newer developers are steered elsewhere, then you have an aging population problem, which historically leads to decline.

Well we have discussed this in other threads already :-). That's the problem with Ruby in general that you can only solve certain problems with it. Beyond Rails,devops and some obscure embedded stuff they do in Japan there is not much that you can do with Ruby.

That is like saying "Beyond making a front end and the obscure backend stuff" there is not much you can do with Javascript

Embedded stuff in Ruby?

Now that's a story I want to hear. Any pointers?

Honestly I do not know. There was an article not long time ago mentioning that Ruby is not popular in Japan because of Rails but because it is used in a lot of places like embedded stuff etc.

Thanks, that was really interesting. Guess I'll have to go and read on mruby now!
