Linux Development Environment Scripts

What is this?

• A set of bash scripts designed to spin up language version manager for a few programming languages.

Why make this?

• The goal is to create reproducible way to setup a quick development environment on Linux machines.

What about asdf and mise?

• I am aware of asdf and mise, I have tried them before with relative success.
• But with asdf and mise the community users themselves manages the plugins, and not everyone is willing to maintain it.
• Features such as dotnet tool installations or installing language specific libraries may not work for niche languages.
• So I followed the philosophy special purpose tools are almost always better, than general purpose tools
• Because prior to the existence of asdf and mise, language version managers already exists and has significantly matured.
• By using these old solutions configuration issues are easily resolved, with the existing documentation on the internet.
