Switch to rbenv or asdf-vm instead of RVM
In general, it seems most people are not a fan of rvm (it does weird things like override default unix command... or did at one point? Not sure anymore), and it's been a constant headache to keep working.
I was thinking of switching the ruby version manager over to
- https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv
- https://asdf-vm.com/#/
Rbenv is well liked by most Rubyist I've asked, but asdf would offer a uniform package manager for pretty much every language we support, which is appealing.
Have an opinion? Let me know here, otherwise I'll likely just choose one.
+1 from me for asdf. Some of our projects on netlify use both ruby and node, and it would be nice to be able to specify both runtime versions in .tool-versions.
I considered adding it for python a while back since we didn't have a good version manager story for that yet. It turns out no python version manager can download prebuilt pythons! They all require build-from-source install.
asdf could still possibly work for ruby, node and anything else that doesn't require a build-from-source install.
you can just start supporting this by looking for .tool-versions and then not setting up any other language version manager (rvm or nvm, etc) when it does exist.
