Rails is particularly nice in a cursor-first world (probably true of any elder framework that has strong opinions/conventions).

Languages with stronger types like typescript (unfortunately) perform much better than dynamic languages like Ruby, Elixir or even plain JS in an AI editor world. Because the editors are type smart and you can quickly pop the type error into the AI chat and it will attempt to correct it. The feedback cycle is just insane. I really hate to say it, but Typescript has won.
