3 months later: I am gonna call you out on that. I have been using GitHub - jdx/mise: dev tools, env vars, task runner · GitHub for a few months now and I like it more. It’s absolutely instantaneous at whatever you give it to do (minus the networked operations). And I’ve observed asdf being slow in a number of occasions which always baffled me because really, what does that thing have to do? It isn’t much, yet it still manages to lag. (And the rtx author claims that asdf also adds overhead via its shims, and says that rtx does not.)
rtx fixed that for me. It’s completely invisible and is uber fast, and is compatible with all asdf plugins. It’s a drop-in replacement, with only 1-2 gotchas on how to set global versions of tools (slightly different than asdf but it can also work just fine with .tool-versions files as well).
