New learner here. Been a Java developer for more than 10 years along with several projects with Python, Golang, Coffeescript/Typescript/Javascript (Nodejs) as well, I thought I hated Javascript relatives the most until I had a task to maintain a fairly big codebase of Ruby on Rails now. To be honest, I can not be productive in just 1 or 2 days, and also, I can not just go to the project, hack around and then do the task like Go. I have to understand Ruby first, which has a super weird syntax for me now because Ruby syntax is totally different from all the things I knew, so the learning gap for me is high (:symbol, "string".freeze, ....). Then after that, I have to learn the magic of Rails, where params/session out of nowhere suddenly can be used, where the "a_b_path" actually indicates that it will call a rendering function from some files.
Yes, I know that if I have time, eventually I will like it, love it, and cannot live without it, but now I don't have that precious time, even right now I have the biased frustrated feeling about learning it as well (sigh)
My boss also forced me to jump into rails without any prior knowledge including ruby. It is so confusing and I don't like the implicity of rails at all.
