Polyglot developers tired of juggling asdf, nvm, pyenv, direnv, and Makefiles.

Why it deserves attention

mise reads a single mise.toml to install exact tool versions per project, set environment variables, and define tasks, replacing asdf, nvm, pyenv, direnv, and some Makefile targets. It is written in Rust, MIT-licensed, has 35,000 GitHub stars, and supports hundreds of tools through asdf-compatible plugins. It runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows and can migrate existing .tool-versions files. It overlaps with established tools, so adoption is easier on new projects than retrofitting a large monorepo.
