Thank you for your work on Homebrew, I use it every day. On the matter of speed and parallel downloads, how does this release compare to Zerobrew [0]?

On another note, to commenters here, I've been using brew bundle with the Brewfile more and more these days as a declarative list of all user packages installed, should I just move to Mise or Nix instead? What are the benefits and drawbacks? Last time I used Nix on my MacBook a few years ago it seemed to brick my whole system so not sure what that was about.

Most nix users still use brew for casks on mac. Using brew bundle as your interface to it makes things almost seamless, so its not too icky overall.

eg I manage my Brewfile declaratively with home-manager, and then run this on file change

        HOMEBREW_NO_UPDATE_REPORT_NEW=1 HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 brew bundle --file="$HOME/Brewfile" --cleanup --no-upgrade
