I worked on a very large production rails app from 2015-2019 and came away loving Rails and hating Ruby. Give me Rails in TS or Go and I couldn't think of any reason to ever use anything else for a web app backend.

The Rails Console has to be one of the greatest productivity enhancers I've ever come across.

I’d love to see a Go REPL that can do nearly as many things as you can do with a Ruby REPL. It’s just not really possible I think. It could be doable with TS with the existing node REPL, but Ruby really is a huge driver behind why Rails console is as useful as it is.
