The biggest visible boost has been in my shell startup times. Buying a computer after 5 years with 4 times as many cores and it feeling just as sluggish because nvm and pyenv are parsing the same set of bash files reading from disk was not pleasant. Mise actually made me feel, I didn’t just throw the money into a void
I don't understand how people don't notice the massive tax they're paying by using nvm:
$ hyperfine "~/.nvm/nvm.sh" "mise env"
Benchmark 1: ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
Time (mean ± σ): 1.722 s ± 0.032 s [User: 0.064 s, System: 0.112 s]
Range (min … max): 1.684 s … 1.805 s 10 runs
Benchmark 2: mise env
Time (mean ± σ): 13.4 ms ± 5.7 ms [User: 10.0 ms, System: 21.3 ms]
Range (min … max): 9.4 ms … 42.2 ms 29 runs
Summary
mise env ran
128.14 ± 53.94 times faster than ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
100x is definitely something you'll notice
EDIT: for some reason in discord we're getting very conflicting results with this test. idk why, but maybe try this yourself and just see what happens.
I built my own version on nvm (called nsnvm, for "Nuño's stupid node version manager") to solve this. You can see it here: https://github.com/NunoSempere/nsnvm Absurdly fewer features (and might break npm install -g), but very worth it for me for the reduced startup times.
