Why can't Boxen use RVM?

Question

I understand that Boxen does not work with RVM , I do not understand why. Are there any restrictions that prevent Boxen from using RVM instead of rbenv? The core of Boxen is Puppet, which supports the installation of the RVM module, so I'm not sure why this is. Can someone explain this?

Answer 1

Boxen uses rbenv. rbenv is not compatible with RVM (plus mostly redundant).

For a good comparison of the two, see this blog post: rvm-and-rbenv
