What is Wax Package Manager?
A fast, modern package manager that leverages Homebrew's ecosystem without the overhead. Built in Rust for speed and reliability, wax provides 16-20x faster search operations and parallel installation workflows while maintaining full compatibility with Homebrew formulae and bottles.
Wax reimagines package management by replacing Homebrew's git-based tap system with direct JSON API access and parallel async operations. It reads from the same bottle CDN and formula definitions but executes operations through a compiled binary with modern concurrency primitives. The result is a package manager that feels instant for read operations and maximizes throughput for installations.
