Rails Has Turned into Java

For small, single apps sure.

But if you have large apps with multiple Ruby versions then dealing with rvmrc, bundler and gem incompatibilities is a nightmare.

Java's forward compatibility is a lot more robust.

Why on earth would you do that?

You have an app with multiple Ruby versions?

Yes. I take it you've never worked at an enterprise company before ?

Every time a new developer comes on board they just love to add new technology X and then in the years to come other developers add Y and so on. Of course there are developers who have to manage this.

Enterprise company? Ha. Just try dealing with three different decade-old JVM versions once. You'll pray for bundler.

What use case is there for "multiple Ruby versions" within the same app?
