direnv is such a godsend that I shill for it on every team and in every company now, it's such a great tool.

direnv should have been part of unix/linux/posix environments from the start. Whenever something's install steps tell you "go add this export statement to your .bashrc" or similar, it never sat well. That sort of thing should be scoped by path, and shell independent -- exactly the thing direnv enables.
