The ActiveState Platform is a new web and CLI tool for managing the complexity of consuming open source languages. It lets you create and update shared configurations of a language and its packages. You can use the State Tool as a supercharged perlbrew/carton combo to quickly move between multiple projects, each with their own totally self-contained Perl installations. It works on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and it supports Perl and Python right now, with more languages to come in the future.

I'll show you what the platform does, how to use it, and then I'll dive into some of the technical details of how it works.
