Sure, but you can say the same about Ruby on Rails… but for some reason, Ruby is on the list of ‘never use’ languages

Rails was the shit for the longest time, it was one of the first "magic" languages where you could just do stuff and MAGIC made it work.

It just somehow fell behind on the hype curve, mostly because Ruby itself wasn't used for anything else than Rails. Python took its spot in most general use cases.
