I only just started using asdf and direnv and already there have been updates. asdf v0.16.0 is a major rewrite in Golang. It looks like it breaks direnv.

In a directory with use asdf in the .envrc:

direnv: loading ~/<path>/.envrc
direnv: using asdf
direnv: referenced version: v0.16.0

<-- snip default asdf help output -->

"Late but latest"
-- Rajinikanth does not exist
direnv: export ~PATH

It might be that the new golang version of asdf is fast enough even with shims. However, I kind of need the environment setup of direnv so I can remove shims from the PATH. This is because asdf keeps a shim for old python versions (e.g. python3.6) even when not being used. And cmake python detection gets tripped up by this as its in the PATH and executable but not actually valid.

For now I'm happy enough to keep using asdf v0.15.0 but it would be nice to be on the latest version of things.
