"Get a Product Job (May 2020 - May 2021) This time the main objective was to learn something new by doing. I chose Ruby on Rails. It's a great framework to build websites quickly."

Choosing Roby on Rails in 2020 as a "new framework" for web development ... sheesh.

I don't like using RoR personally, but it's not a dying platform. There's still a large active community around it. It's fine.

I don't either but ruby isn't just active, it's larger than it's ever been.

It was clear to me the author meant “new to me”

Right, Ruby on Rails was out for a whole decade by the time I heard of it.

Another day, another person saying Rails is dead.

*sigh*

I didn't get the impression that GP was saying that at all. Just that, in 2020, Rails is most definitely not "new".

You’re right, may have misunderstood. If that’s the case, my bad. Text can be hard sometimes.

I'm not a RoR developer, but still: which framework would you use for a new web project in 2021?

Laravel, VueJS for quick prototyping.

Asp.net core with ReactJS for web, and React Native for Windows for any serious projects with SLA’s or multiple developers.

Django with python, or express with js/ts.
