Wait, I assumed this will be a js-app, but it actually is a executable binary? Is that the courtesy of https://github.com/jordwalke/pesy ? For some time I wanted to try ReasonML for server-side development, but for some reason I assumed, that most of the ecosystem would be node.js based.

The ReasonML ecosystem is quite confusing for newcomers. ReasonML could be compiled to a binary out of the box thanks to the OCaml toolchain. Pesy is a tool for making native development easier. Regardings Javascript compilation backend, you only hear about that because it's what the ReasonML team selling.

Hi I'm Jordan and I work on Reason. pesy is just a utility I made to help people create new native Reason projects (like fnm) quickly and easily. It's fun. fnm is a native Reason app. We haven't advertised much of Reason's (OCaml's) native capabilities because we wanted to make sure we've built out a lot of the tooling that makes native development easy - for example https://esy.sh . Now that a lot of this native too…
Awesome! I looked at Reason several months ago and my impression was, that if you want to do frontend stuff with bucklescript, you are one git-pull and npm install from a working scaffold, but if you want Reason with ocaml for native stuff, you would mostly be scaffolding yourself. I am really glad I was mistaken :)

I have to read the README twice to see what is it about. What is extensible version manager? Managing what exactly. So I guess it's the reason asdf is not popular
It replaces gvm/rbenv/pyenv/nvm/etc. with a single CLI. Saves you from having to use multiple shell completion scripts, bashrc entries and CLIs. Useful if you work with multiple dev languages on your computer.
What particular problems or projects do you have where this is a pressing necessity?
I just install latest LTS and keep that up to date, and I've yet to find a single thing not working.
How does it compare to n? https://github.com/tj/n
Maybe I'm completely out of the loop, but what's the deal with running multiple versions of Node? What particular problems or projects do you have where this is a pressing necessity? I just install latest LTS and keep that up to date, and I've yet to find a single thing not working.
