Ruby community is in a bit of a crisis. RubyCentral has performed a hostile takeover of RubyGems and Bundler. You can read a pretty non-biased accounting of what transpired here. I, however, am full of bias. I just do not trust RubyCentral. I love programming with Ruby. It’s a joy. Watching what transpired with RubyCentral, and learning more about some of the public faces of popular Ruby projects, has just turned me off.

The events have also widened my view of the community - hanami looks incredible, i have also been tinkering with roda. And to be real, I can just write ruby without participating in rails, rubycentral, shopify, etc. We don’t need them. I certainly don’t. I am very fortunate in that regard.
