Very cool site indeed. Have never heard of the Rio terminal before. Tried it out and it killed my Wayland session 😅 Alacritty is fine, but I've not found a better option (for me) than Kitty yet.

Isn't rio from #Plan9?

guess it's a namespace collision - rio in #plan9 is a graphical environment, not a terminal.

except confusingly the computer you run Plan 9’s rio on is called a terminal in Plan 9 parlance. Jargon is fun.

yes, confusing, but it makes sense. in #plan9 space, where resources are (traditionally) distributed a graphical terminal is analogous to the glass TTY you might hookup to a minicomputer in early UNIX.

X11 always tickled me too: you run the X Server on your client and execute an X Client on the server. Except sometimes (often) there’s no server, and the server and the client both run on the same machine.

I also love that you can search by programming language. I do prefer CLI tools written in Golang or Rust over e.g. Python.

Oh, my brother, people spend more CPU cycles waiting on rustc/cargo than they ever did waiting on interpeted python programs to do their thing. XD

Yeah, cargo is indeed a meme. But once you have a binary it's all good. As I don't write any Rust code anymore, I don't have to deal with sluggish cargo 😁

I appreciate the language, but the sheer number of dependencies in each package is a little alarming (even if each dependency is a small modular unit, rather than a whole project), as is the CPU usage when compiling.

When you're grabbing random little utilities from all over the internet, you have to deal with cargo quite a bit. XD

Go seems to provide a lot of good language features without a compiler that make lesser CPUs whimper. Then again. go has the issue of being controlled by google, while rust is more of a truly open project which may or may not be a cult. XD

Yeah, I get where you're coming from.

For me, python has a lot of (shitty) dependency setups. Once you try to do LLM or AI picture/audio etc. prompting you end up having to install random pipidi-popidi-pipidix dependencies and that's not great either.

Out of the three I like go best. It's a fun and productive language for me and fast out of the box!

pipx makes stuff like that mostly painless, in my experience. As long as what you're looking for is registered on #PyPI.
