Smug reply implies that gems are only for people who develop in ruby.
- nicholassmith 14y agoSmug reply says that gems require things to work, and given that they're usually dependent on some version of ruby then the smug reply is usually right.
- kevindication 14y agoIt's not generally obvious to non-developer end users that they will (sometimes) need to install the -dev package on their OS. Would be nice if it were. I'm mostly taking issue with the unfriendliness of the comment.
- k33n 14y agoGems ARE only for people who develop in ruby.
- kevindication 14y agoDid you happen to read the article? It has nothing to do with developing in ruby.
- k33n 14y agoThere is no article attached to this post. Just the homepage of a small piece of software targeted at developers who are familiar with installing gems. If YOU read the content that was linked, you'd see there is a very long README targeted at people who aren't Ruby developers.
