This looks amazing. Can anyone talk about the added overhead of this? I'm assuming having to bundle all of Node.js/V8 in your executable is one of them. Plus extra processing to re-render the tree for changes.

I'm wondering if this is worth it to use for very simple CLI scenarios that can be addressed by more lightweight libraries like Cobra. Maybe so your client-side business logic can stay more unified?

It's also really funny to me that what is considered the absolute simplest use case in programming – write a program that outputs a line of text to the console – is still not free from the Node/npm/React experience.

I guess you could expect Linux distros to come with Node (though it's probably a quite dated release). Looking at standalone binaries, both bun.sh and Node.js are about 30MB. In comparison, Python 3.10 is 9MB and starts slower than bun but faster than Node. Bundling is easy too, you can take a loot at vercel/pkg https://github.com/vercel/pkg
