First of all Ruby on Rails is fun. Ruby in particular will give you an exquisite way to express you self. The more programming languages you will learn the better is your understanding of this virtual world we live on and you will be a better programmer witch is something you chouse to be. So much hype on the net and you are still wondering should you check what all is about. Don't be lazy, open the door and enter in a new world. The main benefit if you must be in those terms is that you as a young person will learn something new and that is the biggest award you should reach for.
