Well, Ruby has Rails and it is still declining very fast, it's very hard to seen it come up back again, Perl has no chance.

Don't think Ruby is declining anymore tbh, neither is PHP. They were once hugely popular and then shrank back to moderate usage; any data to back up that Ruby is losing usage over the last 3-5 years?

Unlike Java/C#, I would say github is a good indicator for Ruby.

Does that show it's declining? It's proportion of pull requests, not absolute pull requests. Ruby could still be growing if the whole system is growing.
