We replaced asdf in our dependency management for local development with devbox (from jetify), it gave us the sweet spot between isolated shells (no nix scripting) and easy configuration (dependencies go to devbox.json)

With asdf we ran into many troubles with broken dependencies due to wrongly installed system (brew), etc. I fear with miso we could end up in the same place.

As a sidenote, I am starting to use Taskfile to manage build scripts and such. Then I can easily reuse the scripts when I change the environment (i.e. use vendor containers in CI instead of devbox).

I am trying to avoid mixing both concepts for better flexibility and less migration overhead.
