I've been looking into different resources on learning Ruby and keep coming across this. What exactly is it and will it be beneficial? (Yes, I've googled.)
Ruby on Rails?

Ruby is the language base of RGSS which is the script used by RPGMaker... learning more about ruby could make it easier for you to create RGSS scripts and much more since Ruby is an actual programming language which means you can use it to create your own programs...

Yes, that's why I was looking into resources to learn Ruby. I'm just curious as to more specifically what "Ruby on Rails" is, and if it would, as claims, be an easier way to learn Ruby.

Ruby on Rails is a web development version of Ruby. Similar to the web versions of Java and Python, it is designed to be used to create interactive websites. It's a derivative/offshoot of Ruby that uses mostly the same syntax but with a library and interpreter meant to be understood by Browsers. It is not something you would want to familiarize yourself with if you are trying to learn Ruby for use in RPG Maker.

Kinda. It is plain Ruby, not a branch of the language. It is a framework written in Ruby used to build web applications. It uses Ruby's meta programming features to create something of a mini-DSL (domain specific language) specifically for building web apps and working with the framework. It's important to understand that it is not a different version of Ruby though, just a framework.

While sloppy writing does not invariably mean sloppy thinking, we've generally found the correlation to be strong -- and we have no use for sloppy thinkers. If you can't yet write competently, learn to.

Okay, so if I'm just wanting to learn Ruby to learn RGSS to improve my games, I don't need to bother with it. Thank you, that's exactly what I needed to know.
