I should have made a note that I've been using rbenv as an escape from rvm and it has roughly the same set of problems, but it is a bit less enraging.

- pdkl95 11y agoAs someone who tried RVM for a while and until it's problems became obvious, and lived (very successfully) with rbenv as an escape for a long time afterwords, I have been liking chruby: https://github.com/postmodern/chruby https://github.com/postmodern/chruby It doesn't have most of the problems of RVM/rbenv, and mainly provides an easy way to switch between rubies while leaving everything else as full-path references instead of the "magic" tht RVM tries to provide. That said, I really like the local $GEM_HOME method, and guix sounds like an interesting solution.
- davexunit 11y agoThank you. I think the benefits of Guix start to become even more evident when you work in a multi-language environment with god knows how many package managers. We don't yet have all the packages that people need, but that will happen in time if other people see value in Guix. We will see.
