Ask HN: In your opinion, what is the current state of Ruby?

Ruby, ROR, and sinatra are still being used for tons of projects, both small and large. But, there's less chatter about rails online because rails matured/isn't as in-flux as it once was. Ruby doesn't have the as many 3rd party ML libs as python, so that's a bit of detraction from the ruby's motion (pun intended).
