Haha great, thanks, I’ll add that in next I have some time.

Surprisingly I don’t manage to get mise working. I wrote down my steps, would you have time to give them a look-over to spot what I do wrong?

Not sure you need that global config file, mise creates it for you if memory serves.
This is what I have in my ZSH init script:
eval "$(mise activate zsh)"
eval "$(mise direnv)"
And it works just fine.
If you only install it + include this in your shell init file(s) (the latter only if you use direnv), you should be just fine. Are you getting any error?

I installed mise (on Linux via curl) as a drop-in replacement for asdf last week and it works great.
mise activate is needed in order for mise to find the correct path for all installs. It’s used during shell initaliziation - if you put it in your .bashrc/.zshrc everything should be fine.
mise picks up existing .tools-versions (or .mise.toml). In a project folder you can type mise use to install all tools specified in the file and use them in the local folder.
You can also install a tool globally e.g. mise use -g elixir@latest. This adds a global .mise.toml, so no need to create a .mise.toml in the home folder (this is not the default place, but if it exists then mise will use this instead of the default global .mise.toml and also warn you about it).
Hope that helps!

Oh wow I had misunderstood the documentation even more, I didn’t realize that was the command to add to .zshrc. Thanks for the clarification, I got mise to work now and have added it as a new section to the article. Thanks for the suggestion!

Just got through your article. One remark: you’re putting too much responsibility in the hands of these tools while you yourself correctly point out that part of the issues are social and can’t be solved with technology.
Example: you’re saying that with mise you can have the latest version of rg but that your colleague may not.
This is irrelevant to any such version manager due to:
-
It can’t enforce what your colleagues are doing unless the company mandates the same tools and practices for everyone (IMO a good idea, we the programmers suffer from despairingly high levels of individuality at times).
-
It overemphasizes the usually extremely minor
/ rare issues of backwards incompatibilities of tools. I can assure you that the authors of e.g.rgandjqare extremely conscious of how many people rely on them and they very rarely allow themselves such frivolities.
I understand you want to be thorough. For a reader like myself however, I’d prefer if you weighted the potential issues you wanted to point out… and outright skip those that are highly unlikely to happen (a 2-line footnote is more than enough). Makes for a more engaging and shorter read that’s also denser with useful actionable information.
My $0.02.

About a month ago, I wrote an article on how to use the cross-platform version management tool vfox to install and manage multiple Erlang/OTP and Elixir version under Linux system → Install mutiple Erlang and Elixir with vfox. the demonstration operation system used in the article is Ubuntu 20.04 Linux operation system.
Recently, the latest version of the vfox-erlang and vfox-elixir plugins has supported the installation and management of multiple version of Erlang/OTP and Elixir under Windows platforms. and has passed the End to End test → Testing.
This article will use the Windows 10 operation system as an example to teach you how to install and manage multiple Erlang/OTP and Elixir version on Windows platforms.

Long time no Elixir posts. Even the blog is now recreated with a new blog engine written in Gleam.
This time I wrote about how to use Gleam packages in Elixir. Might be interesting to readers here as there begin to be quite a few Gleam packages and many of them could be useful from Elixir too.
