Oh so that's sorta the plan

In short, I think the interface in which we work with AI is changing rapidly
And TS/electron in the language/framework which best matches the iteration speed.

With that being said, I totally want to double down once the model solidifies and model can port us to Rust in a single prompt.

Perry (TS -> Rust) is interesting, but I have another friend who's building 'Trust' and plans to have TS act as the spec in generation.
So in other words, give it a bit of time. Def working towards it. And perf for us is important (and there are several things we're doing now until we fully move into rust)

Core engine in Rust and UI in TS 🙂

I wonder how much speed rust would actually give

Tbh, We should only port when rust makes sense.
Right now, I would consider myself a heavy user and i have not found out any performance issues hindering my work.

End user does not care if it’s ts or rust as long as it does not bother them

Yeah I think there's alot to still push just in TS

Agreed, although with terminals rendering itself and interop ends up being a bit of a botteneck 🤔

But we might also get multi-threaded JS soon which would solve alot of things if AI can speed up the dev cycle on TC proposals

Also agree with <@184302958266155008> I havent found perfomance to be an issue. Maybe useful to profile the app and find out the hotspots and whether it make to do it.

Same for me re performance
