Not a show stopper, but will make it less likely people will spend the time trying it out. If things like "brew install x" were not important, it wouldn't had 7000 stars on github and used by almost any Mac developer. Yes, we can build all from source... but how many of us prefer doing it over using a trusted package manager? Ammonite is about developer productivity, or so I believe, so having to clone and build it from source is not going to increase the amount of people trying it out... part of shipping is security, and security should be there from the get go, it's not something you just add later.
