I'm thinking of switching to use asdf but it's written in shell, so I assume it'll be super slow in slow shell like zsh.
Describe the proposed solution
fnm is fast, you can rewrite asdf in rust
Describe similar asdf features and why they are not sufficient
nvm, goenv, pyenv turn to slow down the shell startup time like crazy so I avoid as much as possible things written in shell
Describe other workarounds you've considered
N/A
I'm pretty sure work is already being done to re-write the project in Rust, but there isn't much public information on that. There is a project called mise which is pretty stable and is written in Rust
There are ongoing works to modernise asdf. It had a small scope during it's initial design and so has a lot of issues planned to be solved. If you desire a Rust implementation now, there are a couple of asdf-plugin compatible Rust managers in existence as suggested above.
