Mise uses asdf, which heavily relies on shims. But you are saying that mise does...

Where are you getting "mise uses asdf" from? mise is simply compatible with all asdf plugins. Not the same thing.

It's even said almost at the top of the README.md in the "30 seconds demo" section:

"The following shows using mise to install different versions of node. Note that calling which node gives us a real path to node, not a shim."

So yes, mise does not use shims. It only manipulates $PATH. I did benchmarks a while ago and that definitely and consistently has shaved some milliseconds off of the startup times of my tools.

`mise` does not use shims by default, but it does have support for it. See https://mise.jdx.dev/dev-tools/shims.html.

You may have out of date information there. Mise was previously jdx and it used to use some of asdf plugins directly. Most of those have now been replaced by built in mode plugins for the popular runtimes. I believe it still has the option to use asdf plugins if you want to though.
