Can we please not normalize telling people to install things by curl piped into bash? I hate this trend. And particularly not for a very new, mostly untested by a wider audience piece of software from a company that few have ever previously heard of.
It even says, quoting from the website: "Headlong is alpha research software."
Yeah that's totally something I want to curl thing.sh | bash , great idea.... Wow.
I understand that people want to get people using their software as quickly as possible and with the absolute minimum of friction, but let's put some more thought into how this could be done in a less sketchy way.
It's like we've regressed to the days when you would download a .exe file from tucows and blindly run/trust it on your windows 98SE PC.
