Ruby is dying
Unfortunately true, but what a wonderful language it is.
syntax is pretty neat but if OP wants something with similar syntax that performs better instead of type checking unit tests alone taking more time to complete than compiling a C++ AAA game, then Elixir might be a better choice. Also it's functional approach could really provide a fun challenge. I mean, you can even see that by comparing the performance and resource consumption of akkoma/pleroma vs mastodon. Above 10k users or so you have to either scale your instance horizontally or shut it down.
