Correct, even though Ruby the language exists and predates Rails. What -- 80%+ of all Ruby code is Rails? Effectively the largest consumer and producer of the language which I think is a net benefit to your point.

Correct in that Ruby never had a schism and is still massively productive and wideley deployed (e.g. Shopify + Stripe alone represent billions/trillions of dollars through Ruby hotpaths).

Python's general lack of success in this domain is telling and embodies whats I was trying to communicate in the article -- languages with low entropy in syntax, features, ecosystem, and toolchain compound slowly.
