Personally, being a user of Homebrew on macOS I’ve been thinking about wanting brew to be rewritten in Rust too. My own reason being that I think it would be faster when run, compared to the version they have of it currently which can be quite slow sometimes. And because I like Rust as a language and for its memory safety features. So I’d rather see brew implemented in Rust than in say C or C++, if a compiled language was to be used.
- antidocker 6y agoNo. Homebrew should use C++ and C++ is beautiful than that bogus Rust. I'm willing to war with Rust Cultists. Billion dollars would be spent on Ads in coming weeks. I will start from YouTube to show how cool is C++
- Xylakant 6y agoI don’t think that homebrew will ever get rewritten in anything other than ruby. It may be feasible to rewrite brew itself, but all the formulae are written in ruby, so moving away from it would insta-delete the entire ecosystem.
