Apparently that ship has sailed. Claude Code and Gemini CLI requires Node.js installation, and Gemini README reads as if npm is a tool that everybody knows and has already installed. https://www.anthropic.com/claude-code https://www.anthropic.com/claude-code https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli

That's terrible, but at the very least there's the tiny justification that those are web API clients rather than standalone/local tools.

Opencode is a great model agnostic alternative which does not require a separate runtime

  Opencode uses TS and Golang, it definitely needs a runtime for the TS part. CPU usage hovers around 100% for me on an MBP M3 Max.

    I meant that it’s bundled with the binary such that you don’t need to make sure some random version of eg Node is available
    - yunohn 1y ago
      AFAIK all the other agent CLIs do that too? Which ones need you to bring the exact runtime?
