What? Who's still using MacPorts?

Anyone running Intel macbook because Homebrew dropped support for them because Apple dropped support for them. You can still use Homebrew but it means rebuilding from source. I downloaded uv recently and it took about 8 hours to fully install because it had to build llvm, uv, some other stuff all from source.

Heaps of us. I'd been using it for years before Homebrew even existed and I never felt that any of the problems that Homebrew purported to solve were real.

I know, it always makes my jaw drop when I realize that it’s still a significant number of people, since I remember it being a thing I used circa 2005. I don’t think git was even a thing back then.

Intel Mac users. I recently installed MacPorts for the first time after Homebrew dropped support.
