I just started learning Chef, and all I can say, vis-a-vis Ruby, is "F%!#, what a nightmare". Now, to be fair, the version of Ubuntu I was on was a bit out of date, and I'm not a "Ruby guy" so I knew bugger all about rbenv, RVM and the like going in. But that was downright painful.
I don't know what life is like for Rails devs, but just getting Chef up and running is painful enough that it killed any latent interest I might have had in ever diving into Ruby.
