I love the idea, so I wanted to give it a try. But on a fairly beefy server just running the CLI takes 13 seconds every time:

  $ time openclaw
  real    0m13.529s
Naturally I got curious and ran it with a NODE_DEBUG=*, and it turns out it imports a metric shit ton of Node modules it doesn’t need. Way too many stuff:

  $ du -d1 -h .npm-global/lib/node_modules/openclaw
  1.2G    .npm-global/lib/node_modules/openclaw

  $ find .npm-global/lib/node_modules/openclaw -type f | wc -l

Kudos to the author for releasing it, but you can do better than this.

Welcome to the vibe-coded future. You're gonna need a beefier server.

Or I could take the ideas I like and vibe-code something lighter :-) (Perhaps with proper isolation for skills, while at it)

The ultimate pun would be if somebody rewrites it in Rust, though.
