Ruby on Guix

Ruby on Guix

[David Thompson]

Hey fellow Guix hackers,

I just published a blog post about Guix targetting Ruby programmers,
detailing the ways in which Guix can replace the not-so-good RVM and
Bundler tools.  I know there's a few Rubyists lurking in here, so,
enjoy!

This is really nice. I did something similar in Python, replacing
virtualenv with Guix. People also use tox quite a lot these days, so I
wrote https://git.framasoft.org/Steap/guix-tox :) Is there anything like
tox in Ruby?

Cyril.

I haven't used tox, but after reading the text in the above web page I
can't think of anything like it.

Good stuff.

Tox is actually similar to what rvm+bundler offers (with Travis for
CI) in the Ruby world.

Here, we have gotten rid of rvm/rbenv and bundler. I certainly hope to
use Guix + Travis soon for CI - it is useful for development because
of fast turnaround (unlike the Guix CI).
