#Ruby is within top 20 in all rankings.
However, #Rust is higher. And I feel Rust’s on the upward trajectory while Ruby’s not so much.
Python is an amazing phenomenon. It’s amazing how Ruby being conceptually very similar and, arguably, better in many regards languages managed to miss on all fronts. It missed the scientific community’s adoption. Python was the language for scientific calculations and statistics for a long time. And now it became the AI language. Ruby stayed the Rails language.
