Demand for Ruby on Rails is Still Huge

Agree completely.

I enjoy programming with other languages but nothing beats Rails when it comes to getting a product out the door.

Last week I found out that a Rails app I built for a SAAS company many years ago is still running reliably and generating millions of dollars per year.

The painpoints I often run into with Ruby/Rails are concurrency and memory use. Both are addressable though.

In the time it takes to configure Webpack I can write an app in Rails. Convention. Over. Configuration.

I never learned Rails. What would you say is the best path to write a modern rails application? I learn better trough videos, btw :D

There are lots of playlists on youtube with tutorial walkthroughs. I'd go look for someone's todo app on Github and compare it to a language you know. Then write a todo app. That'll give you the initial questions you need to keep learning.
