Initial creator of autojump here: just use zoxide. I passed autojump mainternship to someone else a few years ago but it has now been abandoned. Rust is superior to python for this application anyway.
Switched as well, with "alias j='z'" seems to be 1:1 replacement so far. Also did 'zoxide import --from=autojump ".local/share/autojump/autojump.txt" --merge'.
I don't use autojump, but glancing over its readme it's missing nushell integration that zoxide provides.
It being a native binary instead of Python-based might also help it execute more instantaneously. Most Python-based CLI helpers that I tried add a slight but noticeable delay to simple commands, whereas zoxide is so quick it's easy to forget you even invoked a helper in the first place.
I was using autojump for years (on debian) until I lost my jump history several times in the past few months. Turns out it's a known race condition bug fixed in a newer version:
