Ask HN - Virtual dev envs for different technologies

Hi,

I'm bit of a freelancing polyglot. I'm not an expert in multiple languages, but I know enough to execute projects.

So I've ended up with active projects in Python, Java and Scala. Then I have my own personal projects in Scala and Node.

The dev setup I'm using is VirtualBox VMs for each project. I've been able to get this working entirely through the command line (VBoxHeadless + VBoxManage + ssh) but I feel I'm still doing too much.

I like how 'light' virtualenv is for sandboxing multiple python projects. Is there a way to optimize my setup?
