Is there an alternative client for Homebrew? Lately I've found myself increasingly frustrated with how long it takes for the standard brew client tool to do anything. I understand its being written in Ruby is the cause of most of its inefficiency. Are there any alternatives to the standard client? Has anyone written an alternative client in a faster language like C or Go?
As far as I know, there exist no other implementations of HomeBrew than the standard one.
I doubt that the main cause of any wait times is due to the fact that it is programmed in Ruby. Such a program does not &quot;magically&quot; become faster just by being implemented in C. It is of course fully possible for other implementations to be faster, however one could also fear that for example an implementation in C would be more prone to security bugs.
