Toolchain Management

[jaredallard]

I have thought about this one for awhile and figured it'd be worth starting a discussion on it. Thoughts on supporting a toolchain manager aside from brew? For example, I've been using mise for basically everything now-a-days and its great for multi-platform. Not quite the level of say, Nix, but gets you 90% of the way there.

I'd be happy to introduce the .mise.toml for this as well, just a thought!

The problem is, that the last 10% are usually not solvable on the fly on other tools.
Nix has one of the biggest repositories for packages and everything that is not in there or in a slightly incorrect version or is missing a patch, can be solved on the fly in your repo without requiring uploading some prebuilds somewhere.

Homebrew is probably fine for now. There are things it could do better, but it's honestly good enough. I don't want to introduce too many dependencies in the stack if I can avoid it.
