Can you expand on the Ventura news please? A quick google revealed nothing…

  Apple no longer ships scripting languages with macOS Ventura. They had said future versions of macOS wouldn’t have them last year with Catalina. I guess future meant next one. You have to install them yourself, just like Java was removed a while ago. Honestly it’s great news, since Apple has always shipped very old versions, and you always had to be careful when linking against the system versions. Ruby is particularly batshit insane to manage multiple versions, at least for me. I absolutely believe that the ascendancy of Homebrew is single-handedly responsible for the removal of those languages. Homebrew is magnificent, and with its recent change of the default install location to the correct Unix location, it’s a nearly perfect package manager for macOS.
