Ry: the simplest virtual environments for Ruby

Some clarification on how this differs from rbenv would be in order. Personally I'm still using rvm without problems, but I've been intrigued by the simplicity of rbenv (especially since Bundler makes gemsets obsolete). If this is significantly simpler, how? And given that it's brand new, what kind of scenarios has it been developed and tested with?

This space seems to be crowded lately. There's also the newish rbfu[1], which also aims to be a lighter tool.<p>It's not directly relevant to Ry, which doesn't use such files, but there's now even a proposal to standardize around a .ruby-version file for these env managers[2].<p>Also tangential, but Mislav Marohnić probably wins the prize for <i>simplest</i> Ruby version manager[3].<p>[1] <a href="https://github.com/hmans/rbfu" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/hmans/rbfu</a><p>[2] <a href="https://gist.github.com/1912050" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/1912050</a><p>[3] <a href="https://github.com/mislav/dotfiles/blob/93c0cd3/bash_aliases#L58-69" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/mislav/dotfiles/blob/93c0cd3/bash_aliases...</a>
