I will not recommend anyone to take RoR training from someone posting
it (aka spamming) a Java group.

There are always anecdotal stories about this and that.

Let us try a more systematic approach.

See what companies are actually looking for.

Let us use dice.com assuming US market.

Languages:

16783 jobs requiring Java
11918 jobs requiring JavaScript
2804 jobs requiring PHP
1910 jobs requiring Ruby
708 jobs requiring Scala
415 jobs requiring Groovy

Web frameworks:

1150 jobs requiring node.js
883 jobs requiring Rails
862 jobs requiring Struts
545 jobs requiring Play
401 jobs requiring JSF
171 jobs requiring Grails
149 jobs requiring ZF
31 jobs requiring Wicket

Neither RoR nor Grails seems to be dying. But are not in the Java or
PHP league either.

JavaScript with the exception of node.js and similar is client side,
while the rest is server side.

Even with a true client side HTML/CSS/JS app you will need
some services server side for practically all usage.

In the Java world those services would typically be based on JAX-RS.
