Demand for Ruby on Rails is Still Huge

Declining was refering to the number of users, jobs, new projects and so on.

I agree that Rails today is a mature platform and very good at what it does: server-side rendered web applications with a relational database backend.

There's increasingly nice out-of-the-box support in Rails for React. Last time I set it up it wasn't trivial, but it wasn't a bad. I wouldn't be surprised if Rails 6 had it extremely baked in.

That's fair! And I'll concede that I actually don't know anyone outside of my own working group (we had standardized on Rails), and the people that I actually met at the annual Rails Conference, who are still talking about using Rails.

Otherwise, the most prolific programmers I know personally that used Rails, have all moved onto other platforms at new jobs or for their new development projects. Mostly Go, modern JS frameworks (many of them), Python, and Kotlin.
