#4ConsoleMe evokes the word “consolation” first thing i thought when I read the title. Interestingly the article mentions the naming is purposeful and the CLI tool is called “weep”. Hahah clever :)

I considered writing it in Go, but my team is Python-centric. Tornado was chosen back in 2018 because it was one of the better fully featured async web frameworks. The original ConsoleMe was server-side rendered, and Tornado offered support for these types of templates.
ConsoleMe's frontend is now fully React and could be ported away from Tornado, but it'd be a pretty large effort.
