A long time ago I used to do website development using ColdFusion and MS SQL. I still do website stuff for fun and occasionally for contract work.
I feel that the CF platform is antiquated and I'm looking to switch to something else.
I heard Ruby is pretty cool. Would it be difficult for me to transition from a CF developer to a Ruby on Rails developer?

May I ask why you find "antiquated"? ColdFusion just released a kick-ass 9.0 version. Maybe you mean as popular? As much as I like CF, it's nowhere as popular as Ruby, Python, and all the other web languages nowadays.
If you have decent programming knowledge, even if you have zero, picking up Ruby should be pretty easy. Ruby on Rails is a framework, so you'll have to learn a little bit of Ruby before going onto Rails.
