Oh, wow!  Maybe you can help me because I tried to use Guix to replace
rvm/rbenv at work and I failed miserably.  Native extensions failed to
build successfully or would fail to dlopen shared libraries later on.
The ffi gem was particularly problematic.  I had no choice but to
switch to rbenv to keep moving with my tasks.  Have you experienced
similar problems?

The reason I didn't name it as such was because it's primary focus is
being an executable program that users interact with, not a library.

Thanks for your feedback.  I'm eager to have some more hands helping
out with Ruby packages. :)
