Least bloated unix software manager for MacOS

  Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

  

As I type Homebrew is installing, by compilation, Rust as a dependency to something. I know for a fact that none of the software I might care to get should depend of Rust (I want the latest bash, ffmpeg, wget, cmake, and gcc basically). I am at loss to understand why Homebrew is now pumping so much software I never even knew existed in my /usr/local.

  🍺 The missing package manager for macOS (or Linux)

  

I am one of those folks that uses a lot of unix software (mostly for work). Once upon a time I used MacPorts, and a loooooong time ago I switched to Homebrew for reasons that now escape me -- it was so long ago that I literally cannot remember why, though I think it was due to the fact Homebrew provide a leaner approach to installing software, with a stripped down dependecies tree (bare minimum if I remember correcly) and thus minimal disk usage.
