If only author would understand, that some people want single, self sustained binary that doesnt take half of computer memory and would rather write it in rust or golang.
- pancsta 4mo agoHaving a coding bot but skimming on coding? That should tell us something.
- zozbot234 4mo agoIf you want to try a single self-contained binary that does take half of your computer memory or more, there's always ds4-agent.
- Xeoncross 4mo agoI'm really happy to see a lot of new software come out in Rust, Go, or Zig. The value and ease of development that slow interpreted languages used to offer is disappearing. New languages have all the nice things built in, or rather, our 1am pager alarms are starting to make us mad.
- crystal_revenge 4mo agoIf this is what you want, especially in the age of coding agents, why not just build it yourself?
- wg0 4mo agoCan someone explain that was use of AI (and all the claims) that a coding agent cannot be written in plain go for example? Given there are tons of good terminal libraries for golang?
- xlii 4mo agoIt can be written in Golang but interaction libraries are very limited and with sharp edges. There's Google's genkit, charmbracelet's fantasy and LangChainGo. Each has ugly hacks and omissions. Then handling slice streaming of data into Elm architecture (bubbletea) is also complex. So in theory nothing stand against but in practice one has to get quite low to the ground to get anything done. Also: Golang agent exist! It's called crush and is developed by charmbracelet people. It's so-so though I prefer Pi myself.
- Defenestresque 4mo agogithub.com/charmracelet/crush The company that had that acrimonious split from OpenCode. Still, fully written in Go and compared to node-based harnesses, uses 1/5th the RAM. (At least for me.) Works with any provider (including OpenRouter free ones). No conflict of interest here, just a happy "customer" of this excellent resource.
