Ruby on Rails

It's late 2018. Is Ruby still what managers are turning to for significant numbers of new web projects?

Are there sets of requirements that are so simple, that almost everyone with any experience would choose some other stack not involving the Ruby language? E. g. a web site requiring a CMS and a 'blog and little to nothing in the way of custom tables?

I'm not experienced with many kinds of projects on the Web, and so I have this maybe naive thought that with nodejs, at least people can use the same syntax for code that runs on the server and code that runs in the browser. Doesn't having that single syntax reduce the intellectual burden somewhat? If Ruby is still getting a lot of traction for new projects, what are said to be the benefits that outweigh the drawback of using two languages and so having to keep mentally changing gears?
