I think it's gotten a little better but is still a mess. I think the biggest issue is dynamic languages tend to support a bunch of different OS and architectures but these all have different tool chains.

Nodejs, as far as I know, ships entire platform specific tool chains as dependencies that are downloaded with the dependency management tool. Python goes a different direction and has wheels which are statically linked binaries built with a special build tool chain then hosted on the public package repo ready to use.

I don't think anything in Ruby has changed but I haven't used it in a few years.
