Rewrite in Rust: never :)
A non-Ruby frontend may be possible but, fundamentally, the Formula DSL is Ruby and we couldn't feasibly move to another language without breaking backwards compatibility with everything.
The "update tons of stuff you never asked for": we're working on this: https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/issues/19202
Performance in general: we're doing what we can to improve it wherever possible. Ruby makes this harder but it is getting better rather than worse at this point.

Sapphire: Rust based package manager for macOS
> I wonder if you can get away with not doing parallel downloads, but just keep the sequential downloads going in the background while it is installing a package?
I could be wrong, but I believe multiple people, including maintainers, have looked into exactly that :-)
(I also need to correct myself: there is some work ongoing into concurrent downloads[1]. That work hasn't hit `brew install` yet, where I imagine the question of concurrent traffic volume will become more pressing.)

Giving Kyma a little spin ... a SpinKube
Authenticating with Kyma is a (in my opinion) unnecessary challenge as it leverages the OIDC-login plugin for kubectl. You find a description of the setup here. This works fine when on a Mac but can give you some headaches on a Windows and on Linux machine especially when combined with restrictive setups in corporate environments. For Windows I can only recommend installing krew via chocolatey and then install the OIDC plugin via kubectl krew install oidc-login. At least for me that was the only way to get this working on Windows.

Python Versions and Release Cycles
For OSX there is homebrew or pyenv (pyenv is another solution on Linux). As pyenv compiles from source it will require setting up XCode (the Apple IDE) tools to support this which can be pretty bulky. Windows users have chocolatey but the issue there is it works off the binaries. That means it won't have the latest security release available since those are source only. Conda is also another solution which can be picked up by Visual Studio Code as available versions of Python making development easier. In the end it might be best to consider using WSL on Windows for installing a Linux version and using that instead.
