Gemini CLI

Ugh, I really wish this had been written in Go or Rust. Just something that produces a single binary executable and doesn't require you to install a runtime like Node.

Looks like you could make a standalone executable with Bun and/or Deno:

https://bun.sh/docs/bundler/executables

https://docs.deno.com/runtime/reference/cli/compile/

Note, I haven't checked that this actually works, although if it's straightforward Node code without any weird extensions it should work in Bun at least. I'd be curious to see how the exe size compares to Go and Rust!

I was going to say the same thing, but they couldn’t resist turning the project into a mess of build scripts that hop around all over the place manually executing node.
