Top 5 JavaScript Language Projects
-
Rails/Ruby is still top 10 on Github landscape in Pull Requests. Though it's lived through a relative decline people talk about it less because a lot of other frameworks and languages have improved in light of what the ecosystem had.
That said I feel like Elixir/Phoenix is doing a lot of things right today and if I were invested in one or the other I'd stick with that one. But I'm more of a bootstrapper than someone who looks for a job. Ruby is #8 in Pull Requests and Elixir #24 on Github. Source: https://madnight.github.io/githut/#/pull_requests/2024/1
If I were just looking to be marketable I'd consider Python, Java or Go... but I don't love working in those languages as much as I do Ruby (or Elixir for that matter).
