I thought virtualenv was more comparable to bundler than rvm?

Yes, that's probably right. But is there a good way to have several instances of say, ruby2.2 but with a different gemset outside of nvm?

Probably the main difference is that you rarely really need "many" versions of python -- and hopefully one won't really need "many" versions of ruby (as much) any more either.

So the problem bundler/venv solves becomes a solution to 95% of the entire problem, rather than just 50%.
