Ruby is #5 most used and #3 most loved programming language in the Pragmatic Engineer survey 2025: https://newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/the-pragmatic-eng...
It means that basically, Ruby is huge in the SF Bay thanks to its adoption by startup founders, but it is a lot less popular outside of the Bay Area.
Which is not a bad thing. If at least a few of those startups become big they could sustain the Ruby community with jobs and sponsorship, like Shopify and GitHub do today.
