Can this be run without docker, somehow? It's nigh-unusable on OS X with it.

It requires Docker for now. A lot of people use it on macOS successfully. What are you seeing?
Installed it, configured it, pointed it at the public cpython repo, it said 'cloning' and then pegged cpu for about 15 minutes (with about a third to a half of the usage in 'system') and eventually kernel-panicked.
Sorry about that. What version of macOS and Docker for Mac? We’ll look into that now.
OS 10.13.3 (17D34a) and Docker 17.12.0-ce-mac46 (21698). I don't think it's you, Docker is just still a bit flaky there, which is why I'm asking. I'll try it with something smaller.
Thanks. Theoretically it'd be possible for us to ship a static Go binary for everything except for our syntax highlighter and the (very convenient) bundled PostgreSQL and Redis. We'll monitor the feedback we get and see how to prioritize this. It definitely helps to hear that Docker did not work well for you.
I've heard that docker does have a (inconsistent) CPU usage issue on OS X. I would definitely pin it on docker.
Docker for Mac has known issues with file system. You may want to try docker-sync for the volumes.
