I know this isn't exactly what you're talking about but I've found it invaluable: https://github.com/atomantic/dotfiles

It's a script that installs all kinds of useful stuff and sets some - in my opinion - nice options. I just recently started a new job and I had a brand new Macbook Pro up and running (as in: ready to start working) in less than 30 minutes.

A good tip is to fork it and modify it to your liking. At a new computer you can then just pull down your version and install away.

The only default that's missing is Sublime Text.

So the ironic part is this script would no longer work after these deprecations because installing Homebrew requires a Ruby interpreter[0].

Obviously these things are fixable but a whole lot of people are going to have to do a lot of work to workaround having _no_ scripting languages installed by default on a fresh Mac.

Looks like they're ahead of this problem already.

> Once Homebrew no longer has to support a macOS with a system ruby, we can even run with a considerably more up-to-date version, modulo concerns for supporting older linux(brew) OSes. We have a portable ruby that we can use to bootstrap things.
