That's fine but these companies having billions in funding by now should have rewritten chalk and other terminal libraries in Rust while bundling the whole thing in Rust as a single static binary. I'm talking about horrible Claude Code and friends.

And then using emgui they could expose full fidelity IDE+Agent workflow interface (like DeepSeek Harness and similar) that's also exposed as MCP to be operated by another agent and JSON RPC for over the network but no. Skill issue?

PS: Even full fidelity Photoshop is possible with such high fidelity UI that has CLI, JSON API and MCP server all in the same single binary < 90 MB. For reference, see PhotoCraft or VectorCraft or WordCraft or PdfCraft.
