Literally just upgraded before seeing this post; I had 31 outdated packages and the first thing I saw was how blazing fast it was! I looked online to see if something changed and saw this post.

Speed was my biggest complaint about brew, so I'm glad to cross that one off my list of things I don't like about brew.

Thank you for your hard work BTW, brew's been a lifesaver on macOS and immutable distros.

Thank you for Linux Homebrew! It works so damn well.

For me the distro package manager is for system packages, Homebrew and Flatpak for the user facing apps.

Silly question - but how do you apply the cooldown to brew itself ?

I would think this is one of the most critical dependency that you would not want to get right away at let it rest for a couple of days

Congrats and thank you to you and your team for maintaining critical infrastructure we all take for granted.

I don't know what I would do without brew on my Macs. Thank you and everyone who contributes!

would you please share what amount of the new dev (work done on brew) is AI/LLM-assisted. this major version bump was very quick to arrive compared to when v6 got released?

I think at one point you said you’re working on a rust rewrite? Is that still in the cards?
