So this is a spot where I think the improvements over scoop start becoming really apparent.

The scoop cat command simply prints an app’s manifest to console. However due to the long startup time of PowerShell scripts (scoop is written in PowerShell) basic stuff like scoop cat takes a second.

mocha cat on the other hand is nearly instantaneous since it’s a compiled binary with almost 0 startup time.

You can see how this plays out in real usage in the video below. I also half baked a config system, but it’s not finished so I’ll talk about that in the next devlog.
