RVM for Windows: vertiginous's pik at master - GitHub

• Ocho-Bits 16y ago
  Is still Ruby and Rails slow as hell in Windows?
  • bravo_sierra 16y ago
    No. The old one-click installer used VS6, and the new one uses MinGW and GCC.

    You can always use jruby

      ruby startup speed is most annoying on windows. jruby is not a fix for this issue by design.
      • jshen 16y ago
        How long does it take for MRI to startup on windows?
        • yatsyk 16y ago
          interpreter startup with tiny script is ok but loading unit tests by rake command is slow.

  I only briefly looked through the README, but why is this necessary? Does The Real RVM (tm) not work (well) on Windows?
  • NyxWulf 16y ago
    it doesn't work at all on windows afaik. Pik is a decent recreation, but not quite as good as rvm imo.

  Using a virtual dev environment (with vagrant) seems like a good move if you're stuck on windows. You get to develop with software that runs on linux using whatever tools you're comfortable with on windows.
