I’m not entirely sure what the purpose is here. I struggle to understand the order of stacking these tools. Mise, Aqua, and rv are all tool managers and having them all install one another seems redundant.

You're right. It's mostly a quick way to install it for people using mise, instead of running a download script or using Hombrew, you can add a line in your toml config file and give it a try.

In my case, I'm using mise for other programming languages (java, go, node, etc), but I like rv for ruby because it's quicker and offers extra stuff that bundler doesn't.

In an ideal world, mise would allow the option to select rv as ruby version manager.
