snm v0.7.0: A complete refactor
I'm pleased to announce snm v0.7.0. This release is a complete refactor of the codebase, removing redundant code and using idiomatic rust. Also, fixing some bugs that I found while refactoring the codebase and with some perf improvements.

Make the zsh Prompt Go Faster
There are obviously other methods, of course, but you can find them on almost any other blog talking about zsh prompts so for the sake of brevity, I'm not going to repeat them(an example: use fnm instead of nvm or why would you not use mise). There is also a faster syntax highlighter for zsh. so on and so forth.

Mise: Dev tools, env vars, task runner
I switched to https://github.com/Schniz/fnm a while ago and it’s been fantastic. I also bake it into all of our Packer images at work.

Effective nodejs version management for the busy developer
I highly recommend setting up nodejs with a version manager, nvm was and still is a popular option, however, I now recommend and have been using fnm, a simpler and faster alternative to manage my nodejs versions.

Oh My Zsh
I switched from nvm to fnm a few years ago and have never looked back. Zero performance issues and it supports .nvmrc files.

Pyright slows down my terminal, trying to speed it up, am using Lazyvim
If it's your terminal that's slow in general and not neovim specifically I found that switching from nvm to fnm for managing node significantly faster at starting up my shell. I don't know whether this is what your issue is but I thought I'd share it regardless. https://github.com/Schniz/fnm
What are some alternatives?
When comparing snm and fnm you can also consider the following projects:
