Homebrew 3.4.0 (brew.sh)

"go run" has almost replaced homebrew for me.

Some advantages:

* Works on every system with golang 1.17.x installed * Supports "latest" and explicit version "pinning" * Awesome for scripting, no install step necessary

For example, I like to use both yq 3.x and yq 4.x

go run github.com/mikefarah/yq/v3@latest

go run github.com/mikefarah/yq/v4@latest

Disadvantages:

* An index of "go runnable" cli programs would be helpful * Doesn't work if go.mod contains replace directives
