What Hacker News says?
Ever since the famous twitter drop out of Ruby/Rails many new enterprises adopted it. Gitlab, Stripe, Coinbase, these companis are worth tens of billions of dollars. I'm not talknig about the older generation (Shopify, Airbnb etc), but new successful companies that chose Ruby or Rails in the last 5 years. https://blog.planetargon.com/entries/18-companies-using-ruby...
