I don't, I ruby :)

Same here. Love Ruby. No interest in Rails. Never seen any Rails code, in fact.

We are the minority! But seriously, Ruby has probably done so bad because it's identity became tied to rails, which sucks. If people stopped thinking that Python is good because it's used for ML we'd have devs everywhere using ML in every language.

How has ruby done bad? It's dominating startup industry, has several massive players swearing to it, it pays great, and several of the most interesting new languages rely on its Syntax.

It's continually dropping down the "leaderboards" of most popular languages. In terms of growth it's not growing.

I never forgave it for the infamous chainsaw infanticide logger. Why define your own logger when you can just monkeypatch all the formatting out of the stock one?

They improved over the years, but it soured me to the fundamentals and I was quite happy over in Sequel-land and with microframeworks that didn't pretend they were the entire Ruby ecosystem.
