Comment on Show HN: Light like the Terminal – Meet GTK LLM Chat Front Endparent

Comments

Yeah I agree, I've been thinking about using Rust. But ultimately it's a problem with GTK3 vs GTK4 too because if we could reuse the Python interpreter from the applet that would speed things up but GTK4 doesn't have support for AppIndicator icons(!).

I've been pondering whether to backport to GTK3 for this sole purpose. I find that after the initial delay to startup the app, its speed is okay...

Porting to Rust is not really planned because I'd loose the llm-python base - but still something that triggers my curiosity.
