Rvm vs. rbenv

Hi, guys
    I am just new to Ruby.
    Lately, the problem of Ruby version management has come to me. Choices
about that end up with RVM and rbenv.
    I did google a lot about them, I would like to know, which one do you
use on product environment? And Why?

    THX!

This will likely just become a religious discussion. Both are used quite
successfully in production environments. If you have read a lot about them,
you should understand their feature sets as fundamental differences, so
pick the one with the philosophy and feature set that most closely matches
your needs.

I chose RVM initially, worked with it for over a year. Then I ran into some issues (RVM isn’t the more predictable item either), and they suggested I move to rbenv. The latter works just as fine, and it solves problems. I believe the latter is written in ruby as well, so that’s great.

rbenv is simple that does not try to overcomplicate what its role is. RVM does somewhat.

The culprit was filewatcher (gem). Moving to rvenv fixed it instantly.

BTW, join the google group alt-ruby. It’s good for non-Rails people. Ruby is much wider than Rails.

I use rbenv because I find its user interface to be simpler than RVM's.

alt-ruby is a non-rails group. Most resources assume people mean Rails when they say Ruby.

Sure.

I only wanted to clarify because I understood your original
statement as "You should join alt-ruby because--other than
ruby-talk--it's a non-Rails group".

I think it's like alt-facts.

(I jest)

For everyone wondering about Google Groups, you can just go to
https://groups.google.com/ and search for "alt-ruby". It should find
the list for you pretty easily.

I'm not sure why the mission statement "...a support group so that
those who decided not to stick with Rails could discuss how to
achive[sic] those goals in a non-Rails stack..." isn't already met by
the ruby-talk list, but I'm not going to complain if it helps people
get what they want and/or need.

Bee, it seems you (again) want to insinuate that ruby-talk is
overflooded with Rails related posts. That's absolutely not true;
posts about Rails do come up in this list occasionally,
but it's rather seldom.

Marcus
