It's Python and the people using it - in theory pip + requirements.txt + virtualenv/conda should work, but here's over 1 million issues of people asking for requirements files or fixes to requirements files: https://github.com/search?q=requirements+file&type=issues
PS: For ML/DL enthusiasts, there is a small Ruby DL scene with some nice ported libraries done by the amazing @ankane - super infant right now, but if more folks use it, maybe we can bring Ruby to the DL mainstream? https://ankane.org/new-ml-gems

It looks like there was a little movement in the space not too far back:

But I don't know how often this is used in production. I've ended up training the models in python and then loading them in Ruby.
