rv plan and progress update

DRANK

This post was originally given as a talk at Rubycon IT 2026. The slides and video are also available. It’s been a while since I first talked about rv, a Ruby manager for the future. I’d like give an update on what we’ve done since then, but I’m going to recap some of that earlier post first to give context for the updates. If you still remember what I said back then, you can jump to the new stuff right away. Either way, I’m excited to update you about the work that we’ve been doing, and show exactly how far we’ve gotten.
