For anything versioned, I use asdf: https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf

It's straightforward enough that the software devs I work with consider it "painless" to use.

asdf describes itself as "asdf is a CLI tool that can manage multiple language runtime versions on a per-project basis. It is like gvm, nvm, rbenv & pyenv (and more) all in one!"

This is what I do as well.

I use Homebrew for general purpose niceties like starship, fzf, and casks.

Project deps are managed with asdf.

The “right answer” may in fact be Nix however. I just haven’t fully grokked it yet.
