I have been meaning to try out ASDF-VM. Currently my shell initialization script has at least 4 of these "version managers". While I don't really mind them (and they are mostly well-behaved), it might be nice to have something a bit more centralized.

In addition to python version issues, I was also running into JVM and gradle version compatibility issues, which I was handling with jenv and some aliases that would swap JAVAHOME environment variable as needed. asdf-vm cleaned all that up in a very clean way, and I like the way you can set .tool-versions file for a project and share with other asdf-vm users.
