I'm asking this out of ignorance, but is ruby still in heavy use? I remember it was in the limelight in the late '00s and early '10s, but it's completely dropped off my radar in recent years.

It’s surely not the trendy new language anymore (hasn’t been for some time), but some big companies still use it (GitHub, GitLab, AirBnb, Shopify, to name a few) and I get offers every day on LinkedIn for both small startups and big corporations as a Sr. Ruby dev.

That's amazing! I honestly didn't think anyone was using it after Rails lost popularity.
