  • asdf

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

  • i mean, it sounds like you have a decent lay of the land. in terms of version management, i’ve switched to asdf, and it’s been a joy, even with nushell and fish. switched to nushell recently, and i really dig it, especially when it comes to dealing with structured data. for small apps, go is really a good tool, since compile times are good, the language is simple, and the binaries are designed to work basically anywhere. Python i still use a ton for scripts i’m trying to share with others. tbh i haven’t used Ruby since Rails kind of fell off, and a lot of smaller apps don’t need a “convention over configuration” framework. that said if Ruby sparks joy for you there is a small but enthusiastic community kicking around.

  • WorkOS
