Wait... rvm is pure bash?

Oh dear god. That's honestly terrifying. I've never bothered looking at it.

There was a crowd-sourcing campaign to re-write 2.0 in Ruby:

However, I haven't heard anything of it in a while.

That sound pretty crazy. The reason to use RVM is to be able to run Ruby programs with different Ruby versions... How would you run it in the first time if you have the wrong versions?

I guess bash is a good choice since it can be run pretty much everywhere.

Hmmm, a Ruby version manager which is written with Ruby. Smells like rabbit hole. :)
