Ruby remains a popular language for software developers, but many see it as the 'Marmite' of the development world. It is the 12th most popular language according to the latest 2019 StackOverflow Survey (with Ruby On Rails the 11th most popular framework), but 50% of developers love it while 50% dread it.
What many developers may be overlooking is that Ruby ticks all the boxes when it comes to getting a job. Ruby has the 17th highest pay rate for Permanent jobs and the 10th highest daily rate for Contract jobs PLUS there are still lots of Ruby jobs out there and pay is INCREASING (permanent salaries increased by £5,000 on average in the last year)
