this looks pretty refreshing, a brew-like package manager for Windows: https://scoop.sh/

@borkdude I thought Chocolatey was already that?

I’m not too familiar with Chocolatey since it was just introduced when I “left” Windows for MacOS. Here’s a comparison: https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop/wiki/Chocolatey-Comparison

I just installed graalvm 19 using it, it was very easy

it seems choco assumes you’re admin when you install stuff, but scoop is more local to the user?

e.g. I just tried choco install lein but that didn’t work without running the cmd.exe as an admin

Cool. I've never tried either of them. I tend to just install stuff "manually" on Windows...
