For what it's worth that's also been my experience with some Ruby projects I have. Usually bum-simple Jekyll web sites in response to a dependabot warning. It's almost always a fight to get going again and it seems so needless. Like just reinstall the gems from scratch if you need to, jeez, this isn't even a CI I don't need the gems to be literally identical to what was here a year ago, I just need "bundle exec jekyll serve" to actually do something... That all said I still like Ruby as a language, it brings the good stuff over from Perl while being as expressive as Python and pretty damn fast to boot. And I recognize Python also has similar dependency challenges. But this is very irritating.

> It's almost always a fight to get going again and it seems so needless Hm. I do ruby webdev stuff for over a decade now (first ramaze, hanami now) and use a self baked overlay that manages multiple hanami apps and capistrano to deploy them and shares plugins to all the webapps (like a blog component). I love it. Sure, there were problems with bundler and some with capistrano too but overall its very pleasant for me.
