this is a use-case I should be more thoughtful around. I do try to never ever block on HTTP for anything where you aren't explicitly calling mise—so like `mise ls-remote` obviously is going to block, but if mise is just running to update PATH behind the scenes it should never, ever cause any significant delay. If you ever see this happen try to let me know—though I understand that by its nature that can be a very difficult thing to reproduce.

I talk about this a lot in private but I don't think it's in any docs but this is expressly not something I would ever do. Mise stops at your system. I'll never try to install openssl or something to patch your system or get libraries in place. Nix is the tool for people that want that sort of thing.
IMO the biggest competitor to mise isn't asdf, it's nix and docker and mise is the polar opposite of both. That's not to say those tools don't have their place but at their core: docker and nix try to _bypass_ your environment by building their own. Mise augments your environment which means you don't need to figure out how to get stuff into or out of the environment. You environment is what it was before, just with tools, env vars, and tasks to make working in that environment easier.
However yes, this does mean you may be missing a shared object from time to time. Or need to install libxml. But at least you don't need to setup rsync.
