André is working on a combination of rbenv/asdf, bundler, and gem that I think is interesting. Not that they're wildly broken, but I'd rather have fewer tools and it always seemed a bit odd that they're separate when they're notionally managing the environment in which your ruby code executes.

Given the rise in supply chain attacks, I'd also like a private rubygem instance where I can whitelist gems and even versions for my company in a way that doesn't let anything else install. I'm not sure if they're taking that on or not, but I'd like it.

that was always possible https://guides.rubygems.org/run-your-own-gem-server/

(there's also "gem server")
