I’m a big fan of Rust, but the frontend being written in Rust doesn’t help a ton with backend issues unfortunately.
Maybe, but you can literally feel the difference as you type. When you type in Codex, it's fast, it feels instant. When you type in Claude Code, it feels like playing a game in 60 fps after you already got used to 144 fps.
Codex does not go well with my Zellij/Alacritty setup. It does not respect resize events. Opencode is nice, though
5.4 is smarter than Opus when it comes to really figuring out a problem. Codex agentic stuff takes forever though.
Something being written in rust has no bearing to whether it’s good. You can create slop in any language.
At least the slop is fast and jitter-free, and not using React in a terminal.
