Originally assigned to: @thdxr on GitHub.

So I was looking for a solution like Claude code but written in go because I don't want to install any npm javascript related stuff on my machine and I came across opencode.

Now I can see there is golang in there but also Typescript and npm is used. I am wondering, why? Why does this project and many of the other terminal AI code editors use npm?

Surely using go and compiling to a static binary would be the optimal way to go right?

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

  • #462: User specifically requested static linked binaries instead of NPM dependencies, citing the same preference for Go-only distribution without JavaScript/NPM requirements

Feel free to ignore if none of these address your specific case.

Bun allows you to compile to single executable, also not using go makes things like plugins much easier. The go tui libs (charm family) have insane performance issues at scale and will soon be replaced with opentui (a zig tui lib with typescript apis)
