Ballad of asdf

Once upon a time there was a programming language

There were many versions of it

So people wrote a version manager for it

To switch between versions for projects

Different, old, new.

Then there came more programming languages

So there came more version managers

And many commands for them

I installed a lot of them

I learnt a lot of commands

Then I said, just one more version manager

Which I will write instead

So, there came another version manager

asdf version manager - https://github.com/HashNuke/asdf

A version manager so extendable

for which anyone can create a plugin

To support their favourite language

No more installing more version managers

Or learning more commands
