from the same thread ...

"@adrian that reminds me of the story where a sec researcher bought license plate NULL. And got all the traffic violation tickets which could not be assigned to a license plate."

Priceless.

TL;DR It is already, for the good and for the bad.

probably the best thing that come from Microsoft in decades

update: has momentum, a huge marketing budget (helps) and the cost of entry way lower than emacs' one (typescript ecosystem a fair bit less exotic than lisps').

performance is OK, really. i remember more than 20yrs ago when one had to use vi, micro emacs and lesser options because emacs was then the resource hog. at same age / stage vscode is way less hungry than emacs then...

sorry OP by this is a clickbait rant from someone who just did not made his homework and ended loosing time and data.

- Homebrew is rolling - always was and never claimed otherwise.

- OTOH for key packages (say databases) it has available versioned bottles. for postgresql one have:

  - postgresql@10
  - postgresql@12
  - [email protected]
  - [email protected]
  - postgresql (points to latest) 
  - postgresql@11
  - postgresql@13
  - [email protected]

- Finally, no one is forced to update everything at all. run `brew outdated` and pick whatever you want updated then `brew update foo`...

In short, none of what happened to the OP is due to inherent flaws in homebrew... QED.

Well, well... that may not be true for much longer. just take a look at RedwoodJS - https://redwoodjs.com. It's near 1.0, has a solid core team (with a really sounding track record) and just works (really)!

You can't get anything near as sober, sane, predictable, and idiomatic as it IMHO. Just try it.
