If you didn't need backwards compatibility with older rubies you could use Ractors in lieu of forks and not have to IPC between the two and have cleaner communication channels. I can peg all the cores on my machine with a simple Ractor pool doing simple computation, which feels like a miracle as a Ruby old head. Bundler could get away with creating their own Ractor safe installer pool which would be cool as it'd be the first large scale use of Ractors that I know of.
