Nope, it’s slower and with less features than mise. It’s superior in every way, though using asdf is not likely to stop you from developing your project of course.

If you’re already using Nix (or open to trying it), this is all you need in a flake.nix:

{
  inputs.nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
  outputs = {nixpkgs, ...}: let
    systems = nixpkgs.lib.systems.flakeExposed;
  in {
    devShells = nixpkgs.lib.genAttrs systems (system: let
      pkgs = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.${system};
      beam-pkgs = pkgs.beam.packages.erlang_26;
    in {
      default = pkgs.mkShell {
        inherit (beam-pkgs) elixir erlang;
      };
    });
  };
}

Then nix develop and you’re done. Works the same on Linux and macOS.

I did use asdf for a while, but I recently switched over to mise. It feels faster and doesn’t seem to get in my way as much. I may be a weird edge case but I always found that asdf always seemed to insert itself into my workflow and block me on silly things. Granted I could have went and learned asdf a little better, but I prefer my tooling to be straight forward and not get in my way.
