The "current hotness" always gets praise, while the penultimate hotness gets piles of scorn.

I think the JS ecosystem is fading in hotness - not sure exactly where everyone is going, but Go, Rust, and Python all seem pretty hot these days, so we'll see.

Regardless, that means Ruby/Rails is no longer the penultimate hotness, it's merely a boring old technology that does what it does.

And it turns out, Ruby is a lovely language (with its flaws), and Rails is a useful and impressively productive framework (which has cast a long shadow on the entire web development world).

So I think the narrative is warming back up.
