About:
Scalaenv is a command-line tool that allows developers to install and switch between multiple Scala versions on a per-project basis. It simplifies managing different Scala environments, ensuring consistent builds across development teams. The tool is inspired by rbenv and pyenv, providing a lightweight and unobtrusive solution.

Key Features:

Per-project Scala version isolation
Simple CLI for installing and switching versions
Automatic version switching based on current directory
Plugin system for extending functionality

Use Cases:

Managing multiple Scala projects that require different Scala versions
Ensuring consistent Scala versions across development and CI environments
Testing libraries against multiple Scala versions

Alternatives:

SDKMAN! – SDKMAN is a broader tool for managing multiple JVM-based SDKs (Scala, Java, Gradle, etc.), while scalaenv is specifically focused on Scala versions with directory-based switching.
Coursier – Coursier primarily focuses on dependency resolution and artifact fetching, whereas scalaenv focuses on managing the installed Scala runtime versions.
