asdf has the big downsite, that it hides the installed system version completely and you can’t use it except by fully qualifying it (might create other problems because system and asdf executables are called in a mix) or kicking asdfs binary wrapper folder out of the $PATH. This makes it totally useless for me. Also it plugins for elixir and erlang don’t hold their promisses. I can’t install from git master, tag or sha, but only official releases while I have to test some of my work against master of both of them.
So I am using kiex (for elixir) and evm (erlang) currently. I don’t know if there is an easier way to do it, but for my personal testing it’s enough to be able to quick compile erlang from source and set $PATH in that shell so that erlang is used directly out of the sourcetree, while I do kiex install master and use that elixir version as necessary.
Especially the erlang workflow isnt optimal so far, but weren’t possible with asdf in general.
