I couldn’t help but notice that he was working with two extremes, ruby and rust. A nice middle ground could have been nodejs with TS, with the advantage of using a single language throughout the project. While nodejs doesn’t have something like rails, its ecosystem is largely centered around building web applications.

I'd say adonisjs[1] is the closest thing in TS land to rails. There's also sailsjs[2].

Neither are as trendy as nextjs/sveltekit etc, but those are not really comparable to rails.
