What is funny is that Github is footing the bill for most package systems, which were likely inspired by ruby gems, yet Github itself was built with Ruby gems.

What is funny is that Github is footing the bill for most package systems, which were likely inspired by ruby gems, yet Github itself was built with Ruby gems. I am pretty sure the hosting costs for homebrew/npm round to nil (I could be wrong).
- jpfuentes2 13y agoIf you mean the npm homebrew package, then yes. If you mean npm packages, then you might be living under a rock.
- michaelmior 13y agoWhy do you say GitHub is footing the bill? I understand for Homebrew since it uses GitHub repositories, but npm is served via a CouchDB instance which I believe is sponsored by Joyent.
