Seconded. Ruby has tons of syntax and is a much more complicated language to learn than Javascript. Also Rails is non-trivial these days. I picked up rails back in pre-1.0, and followed it closely until around 2.3. It's way more nuanced than it used to be, and I'd imagine someone could find it very difficult to "pick up."
