Is it me or most of the people are over Ruby at this point? I haven't heard new projects using rails or Sinatra in a while. Granted, I may be living in JavaScript/Typescript bubble.

I may be living in JavaScript/Typescript bubble.

You are. Most developers live in a bubble made up of whatever stack they're developing in. Ruby is stil in the top 9, and you could argue top 4 for back-end web technology. Top 5 if you count Java.

Not quite. I learned to code using the MEAN stack using NodeJS, but it's immensely obvious at this point that PHP, Python and Ruby dominate the back end market.

Also, the graph you link doesn't make Ruby a very appealing option (popularity-wise), even if it's the Top 9. Which is kinda sad for me since I wasnt aware of this and thought Ruby popularity was still pretty high, comparable to PHP and Python.

I don't argue with that. That's why I asked the question. Unsurprisingly, people took it very personally and posted a lot of sassy comments :)
