Bingo – The missing package manager for Go binaries (Homebrew for “go install”)

brew is horribly slow, auto updates on any invocation I make and isn't nice to use when managing different versions of a package. It doesn't install Android studio for me correctly. Its also not reproducible. And it depends on github. And all build recipes are just Ruby, so its slow to parse and easy to pwn.

>auto updates on any invocation

I've found these three options to be very valuable:

    export HOMEBREW_UPDATE_REPORT_ONLY_INSTALLED=1 # only list updates to installed software
    export HOMEBREW_NO_ANALYTICS=1
    export HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1

I agree, Homebrew is really slow, but as slow as compiling everything from source.

No, even using packages that just download binaries, its still slow as wading through petrified excrement.
