I'm still writing Ruby in 2023 and even released some new versions of some of my libraries. I'm optimistic about Hanami and hope it will breath some new life/energy into the Ruby community. I also learned Crystal, which has Ruby-ish syntax and familiar stdlib but compiled, with Strong Typing, macros, generics, Go-style concurrency, etc. If performance is a requirement and Ruby isn't cutting it, then I'll bust out Crystal as my secret weapon.
It's been around for a while under development. It had it's 1.0.0 release in March 2021. There's been two (online) Crystal conferences, and there's two Crystal books published. There's a decent ecosystem of "shards" and there are a couple of Crystal web frameworks and ORMS that are similar to Sinatra or Rails-like. If you already know Ruby, learning Crystal is super easy.
