@carlozancanaro@aus.social I have a pretty similar setup with Ruby since 2015 (Dave and I collaborated a bit on the ruby build system). Only pain point I see is that when you want to use some C libraries, such as nokogiri, you need to use the somewhat older version of ruby on guix trunk. Because that is used for building the guix packages. That may catch the unwary. Somewhat dated info here: https://gitlab.com/pjotrp/guix-notes/-/blob/master/RUBY.org?ref_type=heads

@pjotrprins@mastodon.social Using Guix Ruby rebuilds all your declared packages with your choice of Ruby version. I don't think it uses any Guix packages except for Ruby, the GCC toolchain, and anything referenced by package transformations.
