## Credits
This project is inspired by and named after [mason.nvim](https://github.com/williamboman/mason.nvim), the popular Neovim plugin for managing LSPs, DAPs, linters, and formatters. This project extends that philosophy to the command line, making external tooling management more accessible outside of Neovim.
