I think it beats even Chef (a DSL, not a standalone language, but still). When you google for that you get a mix of automation documentation and links to Gordon Ramsey. But io?? The planet? The Italian pronoun? Good lord.

EDIT: thankfully, on a Mac with Homebrew, you can just 'brew install io'.

I'll throw `Nix` in there. I always get things about unix or linux. For a while when I would search "nix package manager" the top result would be something like "congress manages to nix stimulus package". Go should similarly be hard to search for, but I just use "golang" and it gets it right every time.

I've taken to using "nixos" even when I don't mean the full OS.

Usually that gives me things about nixos. E.g., when I'm trying to figure out how to install vscode plugins via nix package manager, I specifically don't want the nixos recipe because I'm not using nixos.
