Channel overlaps are accounted for (e.g., 80% of macOS npm users also have Homebrew).\n\n## Why?\n\nEvery CLI language comparison article ends with \"it depends.\" This tool quantifies what it depends *on* — your users' OS distribution and the channels each language can reach.\n\nBinary download and `curl|sh` are excluded from the analysis. They work for every compiled language and inflate all options to ~95%+, masking the real differences in package-manager reach.\n\n## Data Sources\n\n| Data Point | Source |\n|-----------|--------|\n| Developer OS distribution | [Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2024](https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2024/technology/#1-operating-system) |\n| ARM/x64 split | Apple Silicon transition timeline |\n| winget penetration | Windows 11 ships natively; est. ~75% |\n| Channel overlap | Estimated pairwise correlation coefficients |\n\n## Alternatives\n\nNo direct competitor exists for interactive \"language x channel x OS\" coverage analysis.
