#2"RAM footprint: ~8MB on an empty session, ~12MB when working"
I like this, Claude Code is using multiple gigabytes, which is really annoying on lowend laptops

#3this is what I've been waiting for
a low level language. please no more scripting language TUIs!

Yes. Just this fact is going to make a lot of people try it out.

Isn't that because of the context window size?

#6Given agent harnesses affect so much of the performance of models, it would be great to see some kind of benchmark on how this tool performs compared to claude/codex/opencode/pi etc.

The context window has nothing to do with RAM usage and even if it did, a million tokens of context is maybe 5mb.

Isn’t codex in rust?

#9The codebase was small enough that I handed it over to DeepSeek v4 Flash in Pi to skim through for any risky business, and I didn't find anything concerning. Nice work.

There has been no reason to wait...
Codex is written in rust.
-- So is deepseek-tui.
