You shouldn’t use brew for development tools and runtimes really, you should should use a language specific version manager or asdf. Brew for system stuff.

I agree! The problem is, in the PHP world i rely heavily upon Laravel Valet, and it supports only brew…

Agreed, sdkman and mini conda are two nice options for this.

In general, anything Java, python, node.js, etc. related you don't want to have installed globally if you can avoid it.
