What happens to Ruby when Rails dies?

Ruby rode the Rails rocketship to worldwide renown. While a handful of us were writing Ruby code before Rails came along, most of us owe Rails a debt of gratitude for taking Ruby mainstream, allowing us to make a living writing code in a language we love.

But opinions codified in Rails are falling out of favor. We’re not writing apps that do heavy server-side rendering. Our apps have complex domain logic that grates against “The Rails Way.”

Is that it, then? Has Ruby entered its twilight years?
