I'm not on the RoR stack, but I think it doesn't generate a lof of buzz today because it's no longer the flashy new toy (IMO rust, go, kubernetes, a gazillion of react components in the UI, elixir, etc. took its place of "guess what, now we are running this!").

It's a battle tested and stable framework and I would use it anyday, but you no longer read much about it on the news, junior devs are not trying to pitch it as the next silver bullet. So, to be short, it's lacking buzz and online engagement. The tech is all there, the fad has passed.

Now we're entering a downturn I think those who went down the path of 'flashy new toy' tech stack will start seeing their chickens come home to roost

Rails people will just shrug their shoulders and keep being 10x as productive :)

Yeah I agree. It's not really about Rails the framework but the whole philosophy accompanying it (monolith first among others). Startups with complex micros services + kubernetes setups that will have to fire devs won't be fun to work for. These micro service architectures thrive on huge teams, not 10 guys...
