hi @DevotionGeo - I’ve never even heard of `asdf` before 😊  
From what I can see about `asdf` it manages multiple languages, if you are constantly switching between languages and then versions within those languages then maybe `asdf` will work well for you. But as I’ve said, I have never used it.  
If you do decide to use it let me know what you think.
