Why Did Ruby Fall Out of Favour with Startups?

I have always heard that Ruby is a great prototyping language, which is why many startups used it.

Companies like Github, Shopify, and others are built on it.

- What are the factors that led to Ruby's decline?

- Specifically, why do we see fewer startups building on Ruby?

- Will we see Ruby bounce back?

It's the only reason Ruby (and Rails community) declined.

Longer answer: To work effectively with Ruby (and RoR), you need a dedicated team to maintain the test suite, because it's the ONLY way to go forward.

In case you're a small startup, it's a NO.
