Ruby on Rails is out: major coding bootcamp ditches it, due to waning interest
As a developer who currently works with Rails, there&#x27;s a deeply cynical part of me that says, &quot;Good for Rails, then! I guess the trendy ones are leaving because Ruby and Rails have finally achieved some level of sanity.&quot;<p>Ruby itself seems to have settled into a groove. I don&#x27;t see it ever getting too much faster, which is fine with me. I mean obviously I want <i>moar speed</i> but as a glue language, I think it&#x27;s fast enough for what it is. GC has been pretty nice since 2.2 or so; we basically don&#x27;t worry about it in our big monolith app at this point.<p>Rails is... kind of wacky, still, but again, decently mature... mature-ish. Mature enough. At least compared to the insane Lovecraftian existential dread-inducing abyss that is the Javascript ecosystem.<p>(I realize the article&#x27;s about Java, not JS, but let&#x27;s face it. JS is siphoning people away from RoR, not Java. Java devs have always been in demand; that&#x27;s just something boot camps have ignored because it&#x27;s <i>popular</i> but not <i>trendy</i>)
