Mise

MIT polyglot runtime manager, the asdf successor that is fast

DevOps / Tooling · OSS/MIT · 33.4k

What's Good

MIT. Install Node, Python, Ruby, Go, and the rest from one CLI. mise.toml pins versions, env, and tasks. Drop-in asdf plugin compatibility for most tools. Written in Rust by Jeff Dickey (rtx).

The Catch

Not a container runtime and not direnv-only. Some asdf plugins still assume bash. Team-wide adoption means every laptop runs mise, or CI drifts.

Verdict

The version manager to install in 2026. MIT, fast, one toml.
