I guess I have never heard them! Thanks for the tip

I'm sure you recognise some of these? https://github.com/batrachianai/toad/blob/main/src/toad/app....

Ah right so they are your quotes. No not enough that it wasn't quite a shock to spin up a cli tool and the first thing it says is "I didn't murder him" lol

The creator of Toad, made a TUI framework in Python (Textual). What is so special about Rust, aside from it being blazingly fast and compiled, that you want from it?

Safety, performance, avoiding python dependency hell. I tried Toad and to me it feels ridiculously slow and laggy. Switching between input and output (ALT+up/down) for example just lags, I can notice the transition. The whole UI lags. It's no wonder, it's python. Simply the wrong language for this, sorry.

Sure, to each their own. No one forced you to use it, you have a thing called free will, and you can gladly use it.
