Yeah, I can see how you could take that from my comment, it was a bit of a throwaway last line.

I mainly want it to be rewritten in a compiled language for performance reasons, it's a sluggish beast. I haven't tried to use it on Linux (where it has some support), and definitely not on Windows (winget/chocolatey would be my port of call there).

Examples of tools I use across operating systems that were written in Rust/Go, that pretty much are drop an executable somewhere and run:

ripgrep, starship, tailscale, terraform, vault, etc.

Whereas when something is written in Python, Ruby or similar, I'm rolling the dice, and I'm only an apt-get or dnf away from it breaking when I really need it.
