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.

stew: An independent package manager for compiled binaries
Looks good. The problem is, there's also https://github.com/marcosnils/bin - now i don't know which one to use :/

The culmination of several months of work by dozens of people, Flatpak 1.14.0 is now out!
There used to be a project called ginstall.sh that kept like, a manually maintained database of various projects with static binaries and how to install them. It still exists, but maintenance stopped because its model was also not sustainable. Its use case is better covered by tools like asdf, stew, and if you want to get even simpler, eget.

I made a tool to download and run popular CLI tools like youtube-dl, jq, and ripgrep without installing them
This is a recipe for a disaster. Just use Stew.
