I think Go might be a better choice but not for that reason at all. Go could implement something like this with no dependencies outside the standard library. It would make sense to take on a few, but a comparable Rust project would have at least several dozens. Also, Go can deliver a single binary that works on every Linux distribution right out of the box. In Rust, its possible but you have to static compile with mu…
Because of all these obvious Go benefits, wonder why they are instead always doing these tools in typescript? Must be some reason?

Re: OpenCode – Open source AI coding agent
#562OpenCode was the first open source agent I used, and my main workhorse after experimenting briefly with Claude Code and realizing the potential of agentic coding. Due to that, and because it's a popular an open source alternative, I want to be able to recommend it and be enthusiastic about it. The problem for me is that the development practices of the people that are working on it are suboptimal at best; they're con…
I’ve pretty much ended up with a pi.dev+gpt-5 and Claude combo. Sometimes I use GLM with Pi if I run out of quota or need some simple changes. I tried Opencode but it was just too much? Same with Crush, 10/10 pretty but lacking in features I need. LSP support was cool though.

20 for me, and let's not exaggerate. We've given lip service to it this entire time. Hell look at any of the corps we're talking about (including where I work) and they're demanding "velocity without lowering the quality bar", but it's a lie: they don't care about the quality bar in the slightest.

Did you read the article? Or are you just replying? Anthropic has literally been working with the DoD and Plantair for 2 years now. They were key to the Iran invasion. If thats “looking better”, keep it.
Key being “worked”, past tense Now they’re blacklisted from government work (appeal pending) and OpenAI practically jumped to replace them immediately
Edit: the word you’re also looking for is “working” not “worked”. I have many friends on government contracts still using Claude.

IMO, OpenAI have either implicitly committed to becoming the IT service for Trump's secret police, or they've willingly signed up for the harsh retaliation Anthropic's getting, knowing that the Trump administration will inevitably try to push OpenAI around in the same way, if they meaningfully refuse to assist in domestic mass surveillance efforts.
Anthropic was fine doing the same, they just didn't want it done to Americans.
