# Ballad of asdf

> Once upon a time there was a programming language  
There were many versions of it  
So people wrote a version manager for it  
To switch between versions for projects  
Different, old, new.  

> Then there came more programming languages  
So there came more version managers  
And many commands for them  

> I installed a lot of them
I learnt a lot of commands  

> Then I said, just one more version manager  
Which I will write instead  

> So, there came another version manager  
**asdf version manager** - <https://github.com/HashNuke/asdf>  

> A version manager so extendable  
for which anyone can create a plugin  
To support their favourite language  
No more installing more version managers  
Or learning more commands
