    I was hoping there will be news on Rails 9.0. Feels like this is the end of Ruby Rails.

    Hey is not even a Ruby Rails App anymore. And indirectly admitting Ruby is slow considering they manage to cut 99.9% of CPU with their rewrite in Rust.

      it is sorta sad that framework development will dry up with fewer incentives.

        I actually believe new frameworks and languages will pop up that are explicitly made to supercharge agentic engineering workflows. We're still super duper extra early! November last year was the START of all this. We're still in September! Not even one year has passed!

        Where will we be in 5 years?

        Examples:

        It doesn&#x27;t make much sense to use a human language like Ruby and leave so much on the table when you can use a language like Rust or C to squeeze a LOT more out of correctness&#x2F;types&#x2F;performance.

          This is my first attempt at a AI framework and I&#x27;m pretty happy with it
