Version Manager #6

Open Fishrock123 opened 9 years ago

Fishrock123 commented 9 years ago

This was brought up to me by @jonathanong.

There's a couple node version-manager options such as n and nvm. However, it would be super helpful to have an official or bundled version manager.

It'd be good to have something that works across all supported platforms. That'd mean it'd probably have to be native though.

I started writing one myself in Go at one point, but never got around to finishing it. The Go implementation of semver lacks the range syntax, and I never took the time to figure out how to implement it myself--I'm not very experienced with Go.

Heh. If we have to go native my vote is for Rust. XD

Mine too. It'd be a good learning project for those of us that haven't used it much yet.

There's nvmw for windows which acts a bit like a subset of nvm
