The version manager to end all version managers

STATUS: IN DEVELOPMENT

• Your OS's package manager doesn't contain the latest (or multiple) $language versions
• You want an OS-independent way to install and switch between $language versions
• You are tired of installing and configuring version managers (or version manager plugins) for every single language
• More repeatable and reproducible builds

• Just Fucking Works
• Optionally configurationless
• Clean Bash code
  • Favors builtins and native Bash features (over external commands)
• Supports 35 tools on at least x86_64 (see roadmap and languages for details)
• Compatible with .tool-versions, nvm's .nvmrc and read things from popular version managers like rvm and pyenv
• Fast
• Uses no symlinks or shims

External utilities are only used due to necessity or efficiency. The following are used

• cURL
• jq 1.6
• POSIX mv, cat, cp, uname, stty,, etc.
• sort (TODO: phase out -V GNUism)
• Optional: pv
