Rails is effective, boring, productive, and widely used. What kinds of things are you interested in building? If you're learning to code to get a web development job, I would lean towards starting with learning Javascript, then building small front-end games and tools (whatever you think would be fun to make), and then learning to use a library like React to make those even better. At some point after that, sure, learn how to be productive with Ruby/Rails. It's not going anywhere. Or maybe at that point there will be some amazing Node framework with similar strengths to Rails that you can learn instead, but that would surprise me.
