Ok, but why a new app for that instead of a PR for brew?

The original title says up to 100x faster

What's the significance of warm speedup in the benchmarks? For most new installs, cache would mostly be empty, shouldn't the cold numbers be more significant for day to day use?

None, unless you happen to enjoy installing the same thing over and over again on the same machine.

I wonder how the industry has not yet learned to use ASD-STE100 Simple Technical English for documentation. It makes it so much more polished and so much less AI-sloppy.

I find the english perhaps a little too rigid when reading it for non technical manuals. I do agree though it is definitely LESS slop.

Homebrew fails to install on Intel Macs. Says unsupported.
binaryturtle 32 minutes ago [-]
I don't think MacPorts users have those kind of problems.
Personally I was burnt by Homebrew many years ago already. I lost trust in any such package managers. Since then I went back to just compile everything myself (I manage about 300 packages like that in my installation.) It's not that a big of problem. Only initially when you need to bootstrap everything to replace Homebrew it was quite the time investment, of course. But now you compile like a package here or there… just follow the script. It's very quickly done.
The best thing… no clutter. Every package has its strict directory. I only symlink from that what I need into /usr/local/bin.

Given the number of patches homebrew has to download for a number of packages, I doubt it’s that easy

Maybe take a look at Nix+Homemanager.

for a while now - macports for the intel aficionados

Intel macOS is only marginally supported by upstream Homebrew:
Most of the slowness in brew comes from download times, so I don't really need this I think? I never thought "brew is too slow" except when it's downloading.
But I always thought I don't need pnpm untill I started using it, so. I don't know.
(I always knew I needed actually good python package manager before uv came, though.)

This is pretty cool - but Homebrew is also being in Rust right now, right?
