If you use Node.js your program is automatically too slow for a CLI, no matter what it actually does.

So are you saying the Gemini CLI is too slow, and Rust would remedy that?

If you even sneeze into performance discussion without providing benchmarks first – you’re a tool.

You don't have to believe me if you don't want to. But I strongly advise everyone who still uses prettier to try a formatter written in Rust, for example dprint. It's a world of difference.

If you told me the Rust-based code linter runs 10X faster, I'd believe it, but it wouldn't matter even if it were 100X.
