You should use Google Insight and not Google Trends, then you can choose categories related to computers only so you don't get useless queries like related to Java island

Even more interesting when you click 'Growth relative to the Programming category', which shows Rails' massive growth, but also if you hover over the current time, it says the programming category is down 53% (since 2004 I assume?)

Well that comparison is a bit flawed. Compare Django/Ruby On Rails and you will see Django surpassed Rails since 2009....

Insights totally agrees. It looks like the search volume has definitely dropped off.
