 I believe ruby is still the most popular language for startups backend development if you factor out python hype which is temporary and wordpress-level development. Even server-side javascript is not very popular if you don’t count API->NextJS(server)->NextJS(client) as server side javascript

But yeah, most likely OpenAPI is enough, at least for 20/80 
 That is wild to me 
 Why? There are no better tools yet to manage business logic heavy apps yet, especially that allow for so quick start on a $5 VPS and scale to multi million AWS setup 
 I think golang does this way better, as a former rails dev from the early 2000s lol 
 Well I could agree golang does web dev better than ruby-from-2000 :) other than that golang is great for “micro-services”. Luckily, “micro-services” are dying pretty fast lately

Every tool has a use-case, and average startup needs a way to handle complex business rules quickly and long-term 
 ser this is a nostr. if want ruby on rails you gotta go down the street to mastodon 
 Yeah, would nostr be ruby, it wouldn’t stuck at 10k users for so long :) 
 Nostr isn't any language, it's a protocol... 
 We have finally figured out why nostr isn't growing, it's not built in ruby 💀

 He literally dm'd me about it already

 Tf is ruby 
 You can build any relay in the language of your choice as long it follows the protocol lol
