    Did Arko ever explain why he was trying to sell access to Rubygem's web access logs?

      He did not try to do that, he proposed a monetization scheme

    That’s a heck of a thing for somebody to go through. I’m sorry man.

    Meanwhile, bundler and rubygems are being maintained ably, if not better, by hsbt.

      Underrated comment. Unfortunately too many people won't be able to see this fact past the battle lines they've already drawn.

      Those of us who just want to get our work done do though. This whole drama is so exhausting and I'm not surprised by which party is still trying to draw the pitchforks out.

    a lot of tragic things keep happening to the ruby ecosystem.

    the language has improved in the recent additions - ractors, it's faster now & always a pleasure to write.

    however the ruby ecosystem has a tendency to deny reality - ruby is falling down rankings - people deny that's false but everything points to that.

    the ecosystem is not willing to move away from rails. & DHHs antics don't help either.
