The asciidoctor gem has *zero* dependencies. If you end up in a
dependency hell, it wasn't the fault of asciidoctor, and it won't be
affected.
I've been using Ruby for at least 15 years, and I've never found myself
in a dependency hell, so it would be interesting to see how anybody
could end up there. Sometimes the mix between system and user gems is
confusing, but they work fine. I wouldn't call that a "dependency hell".
And of course you can always just `rm -r $GEM_HOME` and start fresh.
Most gems install rather quickly.
