Why can't Boxen use RVM?

Question

I understand that Boxen doesn't work with RVM, what I don't understand is why. Is there some limitation that prevents Boxen from being able to use RVM instead of rbenv? The core of Boxen is Puppet which does support the installation of an RVM module so I'm not sure why this is the case. Can someone please explain this?

Answer 1

Boxen uses rbenv. rbenv is incompatible with RVM (plus there are mostly redundant).

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