I just started playing around with ruby (on rails) a few days ago and there is something I found frustratingly refreshing (I consider myself a Jr.) in comparison to python. The directory is Ruby's virtual environment. End of story. I was awed and mildly cursing at the same time.

Virtualenvs are easily the worst part of python EDIT - I asked 9 months ago and the top comment recommended pipenv and flit: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17062184 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17062184

  There was a lot of negativity around pipenv a couple months ago. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18612590 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18612590 I just use pythons integrated venv and pip, which work fine for me. However, it was in that same thread (the link posted in this comment) which suggested poetry and another I believe, which I do feel like trying out.

    pipenv is still a mess. Definitely give poetry a shot, it's really good. In particular, I enjoy how the maintainer engages with the community and is receptive to feedback. He's pretty good about adding features to satisfy the users, rather than handwaving legitimate concerns in one-line responses.

    Just unnecessary complication.
