At times I wonder why x tui coding agent was written in js/ts/python, why not use Go if it's mostly llm coded anyway? But that's mostly my frustration at having to wait for npm to install a thousand dependencies, instead of one executable plus some config files. There's also support libraries like terminal ui that differ in quality between platforms.

Funny because as a non-Go user, the few Go binaries I've used also installed a bunch of random stuff.

This can be fixed in npm if you publish pre-compiled binaries but that has its own problems.

Same goes for rust. Sometime one package implicitly imports other in different version. And look of rustup tree to resolve the issue just doesn't seem very appealing.
