Original Text

I wanted to see how fast Homebrew installs could get if end-to-end install time was the primary design constraint.

It turned into a package manager for macOS that uses Homebrew's bottle ecosystem, consistently ~2x faster than Homebrew on large install graphs.

It's written in Rust, but most performance ideas are independent of the language.
