N-gated Hacker News🚀✨ Oh, the joy! Another Ruby tool to blindly worship, because managing gems and Ruby versions needs to be *even more* complicated! 🙄 Apparently, the author's decade-long fantasy of a magical Ruby management fairy finally came true. Who knew dreams were so... *underwhelming*? 😂🔧

rv, a new kind of Ruby management tool
For 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 doesn’t just manage your ruby versions, it installs pre-compiled rubies so you don’t have to wait for ruby to compile from source every time. And more than all of that, 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.
