Does Homebrew have good support for exact (and older) versions of packages now?

I'll second the recommendation for `mise`, and add: I typically use Homebrew for things I want everywhere, and if I want something everywhere then the latest version is _probably_ OK. I typically use mise en place for versions which are project-specific.

So I have a system Python (largely unused), a Homebrew python (pulled in as a dependency, I won't use it), and as many different mise/uv Pythons as I need for different projects. Similarly NodeJS and Java. I'd given up on nvm a while back, no longer use pyenv, and mise and uv work together really nicely.

Nope, still rolling. Have a look at https://mise.jdx.dev/ if you need exact versions

`brew version-install` may do what you want here.

I don't think that's a part of its goals at all.
