On the point about Docker making a version manager less important, I'll say that spinning up a container for every project when all you want to do is switch versions of a language is a bit overkill, in my opinion.

If we talking about languages which I work from day to day (Ruby and Node.js in my case) yes sure I would prefer version switcher, but If we talking about some experiments, like Rust or C++ which I want to compile down to WASM I would do it in Docker.

I fixed the title. Thanks.
