I don't know what to call this - a "freelancer launch"? It is the best executed one I've seen, though. Maybe even a black-mark on OSS if it does not go well.
We just started exploring Mise as a (much) simpler alternative to Nix + Bazel for a polyglot monorepo.
One of my concerns was about how well maintained Mise would be given that it's mostly a single maintainer, so I think this is good news in that respect.
Likewise looking to adopt mise at work, have a PR nearly there and especially with all the LLM/skills CLIs, mise looks well positioned. I've been using it for a long time personally and is a delight to work with.
Curious given polyglot monorepo and bazel, does mise have something that solves the build graph/caching stuff that IIUC comes with Bazel or is that something that's not needed for the monorepo you help maintain?
I'm a massive fan of Wireit and its caching behavior, so I'm looking for something to live up to that. I have more testing to do. I think Mise defaults to mtime-keyed cache but has an option for content hashing, which it what Wireit uses and makes it quick to undo a change and get a cache hit.
As a proponent of both Nix and Bazel, unless you need them for a specific reason you should totally use Mise. I recommend Mise to everyone.
If everyone on your team gets Mise and you're starting to feel pain at the periphery then it can definitely make sense to adopt a more elaborate toolchain orchestrator.
Devenv is "mise but nix" and is very good. It is currently undergoing a big migration though, so still a few rough edges. I highly recommend checking it out if you find yourself wanting nix at all.
Man, that's a weird looking "f" in the font. Why does it have a tail? Feels like someone is trying to inject a company logo/function symbol into the otherwise normal-looking characters.
The Mise website makes way more sense to me now. I suppose some artistic license is justified when you're at the cutting-edge of the CLI aesthetic and what not.
Congratulations! I think that a lot of the value will be in the judgement of the maintainer about the marginal next feature (and saying no to all those other features) ... if software is a stream then the value is in what gets into the stream. That is an AI resistant value and if you can provide it for your project.
Good luck, and I hope it works out! Make sure you are ready to ride the roller coaster of highs and lows, as there are going to be many. Remember that your time and experience are the most valuable things you have - make sure you're in control of both.
I had the pleasure of working with Jeff in ... I want to say 2012 - he taught me so much, is a fabulous developer and teammate, and we had some great times together.

Yeah, Mise has caching: https://mise.jdx.dev/cache-behavior.html

Pleased for him. I've been an enthusiastic mise user for quite some time, and am keeping an eye on how aube shakes out.

I hope this works out - I love mise and sponsor on GitHub already.

Edit: mise rocks.
Oooh, bad idea. Bun guy is saying OSS will be written exclusively by AI in 2027, with human authors banned.
Are people dinging you because they think you're taking Bun seriously, or because they think you're not?
Probably the former
