Ruby and Rails really seem to be going through a renaissance lately.

- The pickaxe book, Programming Ruby, has a new edition this year covering Ruby 3.3

- The Rails Way is being updated for Rails 8 and is available in pre-release, and will have two companion books

- A new title, Rails Scales, is being published by PragProg and is available in pre-release now

- YJIT has made Ruby fast. Like, _FAST_

- Rails has a bunch of new features that cover the "missing middle" levels of success

- Ruby has a bunch of new and new-ish features like Data (immutable Struct), pattern matching, Fibers and Ractors, and more.

I had largely moved on from ruby into the world of front-end applications by 2013, but now I'm excited about the prospects of diving back in.
