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.

The Thing About PHP
> ...from the comments section on php.net. The latter was a surprisingly good source but none of this was ever sustainable.
Honestly, I wish more documentation out there had comments/discussion at the bottom.
For example, reading about setting up Open is Connect and having the first (most upvoted) comments on the first page explain things that might not be clear in the docs, analogies that make things easier to understand, or code/configuration snippets for a particular technology.
Somehow the comments in PHP docs were usually like: "after reading the docs, here's what you might want to really know", a bit like those tl;dr apps for manpages: https://tldr.sh/

Making Hard Things Easy
I'm not a fan of man pages. Or any documentation that focuses on textual explanations rather than examples in code (looking at you aws).
I recently found https://tldr.sh/ and found it more convenient. I ended up writing myself a vscode extension to have a quick lookup at my fingertips, since I am at least 60% of the time looking at a terminal in vscode
There's also tldr: https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr
It lets you check the most commonly used options from your terminal, for example "tldr badblocks".

The Case for Nushell
> Along those lines, a quick way to drive adoption could be a huge "how do i do x" or recipes page to Ctrl+F through. If I have to search the internet for how to do x in nushell/fish/etc, I might as well stick to arcane bash - at least you know someone has had the same problem before.
