Google trends says there's a decline. Admittedly this is interest from the general public, not the feature set or the active developer community, but still, it reflects something.

I admit that Google Trends shows a decline from 2004-2007 era.

It could be my optimism, or it could be that I am biased, but I have seen at least a flat line since 2022 in that graph.

As I said, I see an increase when I look at the number of conferences, books, or gems started. That is a strong signal for me that the community is growing, or at least the community thinks it is growing.
