Considering mise as an alternative to nvm?

[minseong0324]

I recently came across mise, a new version manager that could be an interesting alternative to nvm. While I haven't tried it myself yet, the features look really promising for our project.

What caught my attention is that it's built in Rust (unlike nvm's bash scripts), which should make it significantly faster. It also supports our .nvmrc setup out of the box, so migration should be pretty straightforward.

Some interesting features from their docs:

• Much faster performance than nvm
• Auto-switches Node versions when changing directories
• Built-in task runner (could replace some of our npm scripts)
• Can manage other dev tools beyond Node.js

Has anyone here had experience with mise? I'd love to hear some real-world feedback before we consider making the switch.

Thoughts?

nvm isn't being used hard in tanstack-query, so mise isn't needed right now, but I think it's quite worth a try.

And if this offer is received positively, I would like to take charge of migration from nvm to mise.

I also want to hear from @TkDodo ! ⭐️

don’t want to jump on a tool that nobody has installed and might not make it to speed up a task that takes less than 1 second already

Yeah, totally fair — I was just exploring the idea in case it could help down the line, but you’re right that it’s probably overkill for something this quick.
Happy to drop it for now!
