I've been using HOMEBREW_INSTALL_FROM_API for months and it's honestly a game changer! 🔥 All installs with this method are *much* faster and I hadn't noticed any downsides.

Today I’d like to announce Homebrew 3.6.0. The biggest changes since 3.5.0 are preliminary macOS Ventura support, the need for --eval-all/HOMEBREW_EVAL_ALL and a migration to Ubuntu 22.04 as our CI platform. Also, please try out HOMEBREW_INSTALL_FROM_API brew.sh/2022/09/07/hom

Homebrew will be just fine without system ruby. Minor re-write of our installer, in order, but we have a "portable ruby" that we can use in a pinch! Also, please don't fret over /usr/local. Mahalo. 🌈🍻

I’ve seen people express concern that Apple’s Ruby announcement will affect Homebrew. Don’t worry - we’ve been shipping our own Ruby where needed for a few years now. We’re in a good position to adapt, and we’ll be ready long before the change actually happens.

Note that VirusTotal does flag the nozlib version as malicious; however, that’s almost certainly a false positive: the same VT alert comes up for the (known clean) go-pear.phar from GitHub, too.
