Sure there is. One of the proposed successors to ASDF the Common Lisp package manager is XCVB ( https://common-lisp.net/project/xcvb/ ), the eXtensible Component Verifier and Builder.
Why is there no common place where people can see names that have been used already? It could make us avoid such nuissance.
We use it at GitLab since a few months in order to manage our development toolchain [0]. Before we had people using rvm, rbenv, nvm, homebrew, system packages and everything in between. Supporting our engineers and non-engineers has been a lot easier since asdf, and the whole version manager related issues calmed down a bit. The only thing I miss from homebrew is the pre-compiled stuff like e.g. Postgres or redis [0]…
"Please head over the documentation site" is a link back to the site. The ballad links to an old repo (fortunately Github redirects it) The all-plugins page 404's. After giving up on the website I look at the code. It's a shell script. Wonderful. I'll stick with Nix any day. Or maybe conda.
If you wanna do something quickly to ease the pain of version management, asdf is there, helpful, and ergonomic. But if you want to make version management an issue of the past and fix it for good, nix is the way to go.
So they both have their use. nix just feels more proper.

I wanted to see what the differences between asdf and nix were, and found a pretty lengthy article[1] that explained it quite well in the first few paragraphs. asdf is better than nothing, and better than multiple version managers for each language in one project, but it is a far cry from the portability and reliability of nix.

Have you used or considered nix before? I’m looking into both right now and wonder what the advantage of asdf is, as nix seems to be the more robust option.

I'd be interested in that article - be great if you could re-up the footnote :)

I think we have looked into Nix briefly. It seems great. I wonder how well it works cross-platform or if it forces us to either maintain a Darwin and Linux version, or using the Linux version in a VM.
Granted, I didn’t try any of this yet, but the more I read about it, the more I want to. You can even build docker images from the .nix file so the CI/CD pipeline will have the exact same environment as all the dev machines.
As a Colemak user, where do I submit a PR to rename this project to Arst? For usability sake.
Use alias.
Although I don't like the name as well as it's only easy to type but nothing really meaningful.
