Mise Cover Image</div> </div> <div class="paragraph"> <p>Managing different versions of programming languages and command-line tools across projects is a recurring pain. One project needs Node 18, another Node 22, a third pins Python 3.11 while your system ships 3.12. Traditionally we solved this with a zoo of single-purpose version managers like <em>nvm</em>, <em>pyenv</em>, <em>rbenv</em>, <em>sdkman</em> or <em>asdf</em>.</p> </div> <div class="paragraph"> <p><a href="https://mise.jdx.dev/">mise</a> (pronounced &#34;meez&#34;, short for <em>mise-en-place</em>) replaces all of them with a single, fast tool written in Rust. It manages tool versions, per-project environment variables and project tasks – roughly <em>asdf</em> + <em>direnv</em> + a task runner in one binary.</p> </div>
