A deep dive into asdf and version managers
Version managers, in general, are hacks. But they are useful hacks, as they solve a real problem: we all work on multiple projects at the same time, and each project needs a different version of tooling like Go, Python, or Ruby. It’s not enough to install a single version system-wide and hope for the best. Even if we can get away with using a single version across all projects, it would only be temporarily and accidentally working.
