It's necessary to eliminate RUBIES environment variable to add/remove missing rubies in real-time and to save time. Keeping it around would be just pointless, technical debt tyranny.

BTW, I eventually switched to your style of logic of re-searching the rubies directories each time. https://github.com/postmodern/chruby/commit/c87f4cfee2f7c431be53fbf10a9be4f75664afdc

No big deal. I've been migrating things to use XDG conventions and work cleanly in contexts of non-root user, system, and vendored activation, similar to Python's virtualenv.

There is greater work to be done in shells and scripting:

package management like zplug
running faster by JITing
loading commands as native shared objects
simplification (zsh reminds me of Haskell and nix)
avoiding unnecessary forking

@steakknife I'm super curious about XDG conventions and the shell. While XDG has been embraced by Linux GUI apps, it hasn't really been embraced by shell utils (that I've seen) and macOS users/developers still haven't adopted XDG.
