RailsConf 2016: Are Ruby and Rails Still Trendy?

Hello everyone,

Looking back at the history of Ruby and Rails, we can’t help but highlight 2006 – the year IntelliJ IDEA Ruby Plugin was released and the first RailsConf took place in Chicago. Now, ten years later, we’re excited that the RailsConf 2016 is about to begin.

The RubyMine team has visited RailsConf each and every year since 2010, and always got back from it inspired and full of new ideas for RubyMine, all thanks to the incredible Ruby community!

Nowadays, some say that Ruby and Rails are on the decline and the community is not as active as it used to be. Is this really true? Let’s find the answer together!

Take Part in a Ruby Community Survey

We want to ask you, Ruby developers all over the world: Do you agree that Ruby and Rails are not trendy any more? Please follow this page with three simple questions to help us find the answer. By answering, you also get a chance to win one of the Amazon certificates worth 75$ as we’re going to compliment the most interesting answers.

You’re most welcome to join us at the JetBrains booth to discuss the topic, ask any questions on RubyMine, have a demo, or have a chat over a cup of coffee during the break! We will also be wearing our JetBrains Team T-shirts so you can easily find us around the show.

We also invite you to see our own Tatiana Vasilyeva talk about RubyMine tips&tricks on Thursday, 10:50 – 11:30 AM, at 3501 G.
