RIP: Ruby Hype
It looks like the hype about Ruby has gone down the drain, which is pretty much what I expected given that RoR really has nothing going for it beyond the hype (and that Tate guy who’s all over the book circuit). It’s interesting that around a year ago I came back on the blog scene and was inundated with raving Ruby lunatics after I inadvertantly slighted the language.
Now, there are more and more people starting to wonder whether RoR has peaked.
Interestingly the bloom seems to be off the rose for Ruby, but feel free to tell me if I am wrong. - Bill Roth of JDJ
Ruby on Rails - Has the Hype Ended? Since the beginning of the new year I have had trouble finding good, generalized content pertaining to Ruby on Rails. The past three months really haven’t seen much activity about Rails at all - Teej at my.9rules
It doesn’t really help RoR that JRuby, Grails, and Groovy seem to be making strong inroads into the Java community mindshare, with Grails beating RoR handily in a recent performance benchmark.
So, bye bye RoR from the hype scene - we barely knew ya - sniff, sniff
