Hey I'm in the same boat!

I love Go and Rust, they're wonderful languages with their own ups and downs. Sadly I never was able to build a SaaS app with either. Something about a square peg and a round hole... I could be very wrong, but there's a lot of gadgets that come with a SaaS tool, and I'm not inventing them.

RoR is.. "good enough". I can opt-in types whenever, I can build things quick, the tooling is alright, etc.

My first real job was PHP, and there were just too many gotchas there. Ruby seems to steer a bit more towards ecommerce, which intruiged me. And its good enough for Shopify, so...
