Lots of comments about which technologies are becoming popular. what about things that have lost popularity? Ie. Ruby on Rails and Hadoop

Node, maybe. There's still plenty of it out there but more skepticism about perf and npm, and less hype that it will be the great general unifier of front and back ends.

They were probably equal in 2017, but now go seems to have far surpassed it in terms of server side relevance.

I'd have to see some stats to believe that because that's certainly not the trend I'm seeing. Nodejs is pretty strong, and generally the bottleneck is dev speed and network latency, not CPU performance.
Agreed, I'd like to see stats on this. From the stars on the Deno repo it looks like the server-side JS market is only going to get bigger.
Not true at all. Where you get this from?
Hadoop is still strong, but now that it's matured, the jobs pay a bit less (as it's easier to hire).
Perl has declined quite a bit further.
