    Spent 3 hours trying to get current Ruby version (2.7) running on CentOS 7 (which distributes 2.0); gave up after compilation dependencies hell. Then spent an hour and half trying to do the same on MacOS (distributes 2.3); failed similarly. Is Ruby de facto abandonware now?

        I was actually trying to get Compass, the Sass compiler, running. It was written in Ruby. I eventually discovered there’s a new javascript implementation of Compass… presumably because I’m not the only one who can’t run Ruby? Anyway, that one works:https://scout-app.io/

        Thanks… that was what wasn’t working for me. Eventually got a gcc internal error, at which point I gave up.

        I was trying to get rbenv to work… is rvm a better choice? I’ve never had to use ruby before at all

        https://nixos.org/nix/  install + `nix-env -iA compass` should work on both CentOS and macOS
