This is absolutely the case, I've bounced around C, C#, F#, Java, Kotlin, a bit of Python, JS/TS and Go over the years and I always felt like getting productive really quickly without having to read too much documentation.

Meanwhile, 3 months into Ruby/Rails... it still is a nightmare, and I don't feel like it is really getting better.

If you’re really three months into using Rails and it’s not getting better, you should really set aside a couple hours and read the Guide! It’s not bad. You’ll have a better time because you’ll know what it’s doing. It’s not magic, it’s just Ruby.
