Is Ruby on Rails still widely used?

[makestuff]

Yeah, it is really hard to find something that can spin up a web app faster. Django is close, but rails is really good at it.

[Alifatisk]

Yes, https://toprubycompanies.info

[joshmn]

Yes, and there's plenty of hiring around it: https://www.rails.jobs. (disclaimer: I'm behind this)

Companies are regularly complaining it's getting harder to find senior+ Rails developers, which I think is a good problem to have.

[volkk]

genuine question -- as opposed to what when it comes to wanting to launch something quickly from zero

[makestuff]

The only one that I could see competing is Django, but IMO it isn't as fast as rails.

[thih9]

Fast in what sense? Dev speed, performance, or something else?

[makestuff]

Dev speed.

[sebastianconcpt]

The most important one at the beginning.

[Trasmatta]

Yes
