That also means that ruby becomes less important in their (rails) stack since they move to Swift and Kotlin specifically. Quite interesting considering problem-man DHH ("why are people upset at me shooting at wolves and comparing this it to Roma and Sinti" - and even aside from the connection on his blog to humans, I don't think everyone agrees at gunning down wolves in the first place) is part of the Shopify bromance team.

In hindsight that also explains why they laid off so many ruby devs in the last two years. Now if only someone could have told the ruby core team that companies pursue their own interests ... perhaps then they would not have led to the fiasco about a year or so ago. (And prior to that, the silly 100k downloads restriction at rubygems, aka "after that point we no longer allow you to remove your own code", whereas Microsoft github has no such restrictions in place. What are these people smoking?)
