Sesame, salt, and substance. A flagship bake.
Summary
The article introduces 'rv', a new Ruby management tool created by a Bundler developer who spent a decade wanting a better dependency manager. Unlike existing tools, rv manages both gems and Ruby versions, installs pre-compiled Rubies to avoid compilation delays, and makes it easy to run Ruby scripts requiring different Ruby versions than the main application.
Key quotes
· 4 pulledFor the last ten years or so of working on Bundler, I've had a wish rattling around: I want a better dependency manager.
It doesn't just manage your gems, it manages your ruby versions, too.
It installs pre-compiled rubies so you don't have to wait for ruby to compile from source every time.
It makes it completely trivial to run any script or tool written in ruby, even if that script or tool needs a different ruby than your application does.
