Show HN: Asdf Clone Written in Rust

• asdf

  146 17,080 8.0 Shell

  Extendable version manager with support for Ruby, Node.js, Elixir, Erlang & more

  

  I think that asdf (https://asdf-vm.com) was a great idea for a project. It helps consolidate installing and running different programming languages into a similar UX. It also is built with a plugin interface that makes it easy to build support for new languages.

  However it is so slow. I was just testing `node -v` and it was taking ~900ms. That kind of overhead is completely unusable. My shell prompt uses runtimes inside of it for various things so this effectively makes every command take multiple seconds to complete.

  So I rebuilt it in Rust but using the same plugin ecosystem so it should be a drop-in replacement. I also added a couple of features that I wanted from asdf (aliases and fuzzy-matching).

  Let me know what you think! Just know that people have only been using this for a few days so if you see any bugs, they're likely not big hairy issues, just overlooked edge-cases and will be fixed soon.
