I use https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf with the golang plugin https://github.com/kennyp/asdf-golang

I'm a huge fan of asdf and have been using for years together with direnv! It's great to see how much effort is put into it! I hope more people adopt it so that we don't have to `curl | sh`! One thing I have issues with asdf is security as are no checksums, so, you if I project get compromised you'll get compromised, too. This, of course, is in addition to the third-party asdf plugin getting itself compromised (which is the greater risk). Last, but not least - I wish asdf came with something like eget [0] incorporated so that it can install 99% of the plugins directly and safely! Last, but not least - 99% of the plugins have almost identical code and all that changes is the repo, so, this should be generalized. For example, many years ago I made just one codebase of all HashiCorp plugins [1] and it's been working great!

I've been using it and has contributed to it, but I wish it supported out of the box GitHub-based release binaries as 90% of my code for different vendors was relatively the same, so, instead of having multiple identical repositories, I created one, which uses introspection [0].

I wish this was available out of the box to handle literary 90% of the tools.

Also, I typically pair it with direnv [1] for even more magic.
