Hey community, this is my first post here so I will try to be as concise as possible and I appreciate any feedback. I’ve been writing RoR apps for about 10 or 11 years now, and while I absolutely love the framework, I’m seeing that the market for opportunities is not what it used to be. This isn’t me declaring a framework dead or any of that business, just an observation. I’ve learned to love Ruby, so my question is for folks that maybe have used or loved it as well and moved to another language.
In short, what in your opinion is a good direction to go in terms of a language and framework with a Rails background? I don’t know that there is a wrong answer to this as it’s subjective, but I would love to hear your experience. I came to Ruby from PHP, and to PHP from Perl. My first language was C++ but that was back in the ANSI98 days so I’m very rusty there.
I have seen a lot of people doing both NodeJS and Python based projects. I do like the syntax of python so this was my gut but I don’t know a lot of the history or frameworks in the language. I also see a lot of Go, and some Rust out there as well. I’m willing to do research myself as well, and I think asking here is part of that research.
Again I appreciate any feedback from people.
