    New shell instances load much faster when running asdf instead of rbenv/nvm/etc… instead of having multiple processes checking multiple dotfiles for a given environment there is just a process and single file.

    Just another +1 to the asdf positivity. I've now used it for years with both Windows (WSL) and on modern OSX. The key thing is that asdf will keep your ruby + all other languages (node, python, etc.) in sync'd versions.

  It is not a dumb question at all. At Shopify we use chruby since it is lightweight and less opinionated. However, devs never really have to use chruby directly, since our in-house `dev` CLI tool can install the Ruby version any project at Shopify specifies and configure `shadowenv` to set the right env variables to use it.

    Muchas gracias. Got distracted by Christmas day familial activities and didn't realise you'd replied. ps: my sis uses Shopify to run her entire online biz and even though I'm the supposedly techie one she's the one that set it up, configured it, and runs it – she wouldn't know what a Ruby is!

  ruby-install and chruby is the dead simple way to go IMO

    Nearly, except when using fish shell on non MacOS devices
