There were a number of factors behind Ruby's initial surge of popularity, but chief among them was that it made it easy to quickly ramp up development, particular for front-end applications. They shared their thoughts about how and why Ruby's been displaced from the list of most loved languages-and also why they think it still has a future. I spoke to current and former Ruby programmers to try to trace the language's rise and fall. Hirers only tested for Ruby about 0.5% of the time, they said.īut don't put Ruby in a museum with FORTRAN or ALGOL just yet.
