In the rails API docs (api.rubyonrails.org) next to each function you can click 'show source' to see what's going on under the hood. I hardly have to do this.

But when I do, it's usually just 5-20 lines of code that's not that complex to grok. (but you're right, not many comments inline) It would not be fun to try and decipher RoR internals as a new ruby programmer.

There's also the caboose edge API documentation. It's updated 3x per day from the most recent rails edge code and has all the private (#:nodoc) methods exposed:

If you think rails internals needs more documentation and can help, check out the Rails Documentation project:
