Yes. I think Ruby is losing popularity or already has long ago, my guess is a lot of those guys moved to Go or JS on Node. Python isn't really losing popularity, it's probably gaining as many users as it's losing right now. It's just that a lot of people including myself are completely turned off by Python3, so if we're going to break our old code and take on a ton of testing- may as well do rewrites in a new, potentially better language/platform.

For me, Go has problems (as Python does) but thus far I find it the most appealing of all choices. I tend to be attracted to simpler things (worse is better).
