Ruby didn't solve it for anyone but developers. End users are required to
build what amounts to a separate Ruby installation using RVM for every Ruby
application, because every application works with only its curated sets of
gems.

This is, quite simply, nonsense. You've pushed the whole problem into the
user's lap and required them to do a lot of extra work for every
application they want to use. This "solution" is exactly the thing I want
to *avoid*.
