Yeah I don't think I have a choice for the Celeron M 900MHz case. I mean it was cool for me to just let it run overnight to build the temporalio wheel but other deps have been failing so I think I'll commit and use C++/GTK.

I could look at cross compiling too for the wheel to be available. I also do want to get better at C++ so would be good to practice.

Edit: to be clear I failed to make the temporalio wheel, something about maturin/rust related dep.

I've been using golang for a lot of single-binary stuff. I rather enjoy the language and it is pretty simple to reason about.

C++ sounds like... fun? For various definitions of 'fun'. At least you'll have a compiler chain that can target the OS/HW combo you're running.

Do you have a blog or something that you post updates on?

This is technically a burner hn account but I have a github account. I'm kind of all over the place projects wise one of those start a dozen finish 1 type of people.

Golang to me is a lot easier to learn than Rust and I had fancied it before. Although it's one of those things if you don't use it often... lose it. C++ I use it some for my hobby robotics projects and most recently I was working with ESP-IDF/bluetooth stack and that was all C/C++. I am more of a scripted language person eg. JavaScript/Python are my main languages.

For the old computer talk above this is the project, can see I did make an agent client (although a poor one) using Tkinter since the ASUS 1005HA was able to compile the python wheels (although it took a few hours).

I'm also going to use a local LLM I have a 4070 so I can run like Llama-3-8B through llama.cpp
