03:10 PM Ruby Feature #14337: We need add primitives in Ruby that help us compartmentalizing specific parts of our code (with guarantees)

I never said that Github is required for Rubygems, I was referring to a common practice. Even if I audit the code in my own machine (nothing to do with Github), who can guarantee me that when the gems that are fetched on production from ... vasilakisfil (Filippos Vasilakis)
