    It's only for Nix users, but my twist.nix package manager is capable of native-compiling all packages. You can even push native-compiled assets to a remote binary cache. I precompile packages on CI and use them on a slow Celeron computer by just fetching them from a server.

    I question use of emacs-overlay for Emacs Lisp testing. It should work, but there can be situations where the user may suffer from an upstream issue, and it would be difficult to identify such bug with emacs-overlay. That's one of the reasons I ended up writing its alternative from scratch.

    Interesting. I have written my own package manager too (in Nix), and I chose not to depend on straight.el, unlike nix-straight. The reason is because I do nott want to depend on the complex piece of software which is not owned by myself.
