Want Brewfile?

... I may have switched to using a Brewfile. Interested in a PR?

perhaps--can you specify brew cask installs in a brewfile too? I kinda like having all software defined in the config.js file though... keeps it all in one place.

You can! Build options as well. And to my testing, applied in order. Here's a sample:

tap "chleggett/gqrx"
cask "gqrx"
brew "gnu-sed", args: ["--with-default-names"]
brew "macvim", args: ["with-override-system-vim"]

I like your idea of having everything in one place too, but I never use javascript and the only time NPM and the like are on my system are for installing stuff like this, sooo... This made more sense for me -- 100's of brew entries, virtually no js packages. :)

nice--yeah, and actually, I have to do some brew installs before getting to the config anyway... may as well throw them all into a brewfile :)

Any traction on this?

Made a PR #84 , I've found a Brewfile easier to maintain. I'm currently using this without any problems.
