I’d jump ship if there was a mature, stable competitor in the Typescript ecosystem.
Unfortunately I think language differences mean it’s going to be a long time before anyone catches up. Ruby just makes for some really interesting wizardry that as far as I can tell isn’t possible (or perhaps not as ergonomic?) in Typescript.
Furthermore there seems to be a cultural difference. I haven’t met many JS devs who came to the Ruby side and were like, “Aw shit this is better.” (I’m one such dev, but I hated Ruby and Rails for a really long time before I changed my opinion and embraced it.)
But at this point in my career I value stable boring technology way more than my personal taste du-jour so I code in Ruby and really love Rails.
