Mise/rtx doesn't cut it for us. It's approach is shell-based, so if your programs launch sub-processes, mise won't be applied. So for example Node scripts running in version 18 might npm run a process, which gets launched with the system node.js version.

Where-as asdf creates shims that go into the PATH. That way any processes launching processes using normal env rules have asdf applied.

Mise looks well built & is very fast. But it's jaw dropping to me that it's coverage is so drastically lower than asdf.



you can use shims with mise


Thank you for pointing that out - that means I can actually use mise (probably).

I switched from asdf to mise and everything works fine _if_ you setup shims.
