Or zgenom[0]. Or if you want to get ESPECIALLY froggy and async with your shell startup, zinit[1]. I ran zinit for years before moving to zgenom.

I have a similar setup, but I don't have to write that script myself. Instead, I uses Zinit (https://github.com/zdharma/zinit) to let it setup the tools for me.

Almost each of the non-macOS tools was once used daily by me, but I've since switched to even better ones in some/all use-cases. zsh + zinit [0] + powerlevel10k [1] > fish + starship. Powerlevel10k and zinit make prompt initialization time with all my plugins much lower than the equivalent setup in fish; I can start typing as soon as I open a terminal without breaking up my prompt. gotop/ytop complement glances/htop. They offer a really sleek TUI that uses braille characters to draw graphs. Poetry > Virtualenv for working in venvs in Python projects. Distro packages > pyenv, rbenv, nodeenv. Most distros provide packages for multiple interpreter versions, and only use one by default. For example, Fedora uses symlinks: /bin/python -> /bin/python3 -> /bin/python3.8; I also have python3.9 beta, python3.7, and python3.6 installed for testing.
