Asdf – the language tool version manager
Downside: it's all shell scripts. Upside: it's all shell scripts.
Seriously through, it's pretty easy to create an asdf plugin, and it works great. But it would be great if there were a static executable to handle it all.
A couple projects out there come close, but need people to contribute code to finish the most useful functionality. One example is https://github.com/marcosnils/bin - the developer is fully in favor of improvements and added features, but needs someone with the free time to add them.

Asdf – the language tool version manager
Some people are doing these kind of wrappers, for example: https://github.com/luispedro/nixml
Machine learning people usually use anaconda which is all sorts of mess... But honestly yeah, I think it's worthwhile to invest learning nix for simply guaranteeing your environment still works for years to come and isn't affected by side-effects (some package outside of your environment description actually is causing the thing to work, or some thing outside the environment is making the thing not work).
What are some alternatives?
