I think that's ok, most everyone installs homebrew

Right, but homebrew is written in Ruby. So there’ll need to be some more bootstrapping stages to install a recent Ruby first. Although it looks like they’ve got a plan: https://twitter.com/machomebrew/status/1136249501252038662?s...

How do you install homebrew without Ruby?

[AlexeyBrin → jeremyjh]

You basically rewrite the current Ruby installer in a shell script that will download a Ruby version from Homebrew ...

[exabrial → jeremyjh]

Pkg file...

[foobiekr → exabrial]

encoded and embedded in a bash script, more likely.

Including macOS developers!

[mixmastamyk → exabrial]

They should choose a package manager.

[wahern → mixmastamyk]

It's called the App Store.

[saghm → wahern]

You can't install Ruby/Python from the App Store

[saagarjha → saghm]

…yet.

[vortico → saagarjha]

and probably ever. It's not the right tool for the job, unless Apple really does some restructuring.

[saagarjha → fooblitzky_bias]

To be fair, Homebrew usually tries to not do this :)
