Why do not use asdf?

[FireInsight]

Use mise instead; it's fast, it gets out of your way, it's easy to use, and it's compatible with asdf plugins.

Can't manage lower-level deps like dynamic libraries and C compilers, though. I just containerize those.

I really gotta give mise a shot one of these days...

Asdf slows down the shell

[viraptor]

It makes the installed runtime startup slightly slower, not slows down the shell. The difference there matters.

[pprotas]

Okay well, it did both for me. It caused my shell startup to take ~1 second and there was a delay after typing every command or switching directories.
