Oh my god I thought I was the only one. Everyone says that you should be using the command line anyway, but I'd rather use a GUI but it's disgustingly slow.

- r_lee 1y agoThe CLI also takes like 5 seconds to do anything
- CamouflagedKiwi 1y agoIt surprises me that it's built in Python (as is AWS'), which doesn't seem like a very appropriate language for exactly this reason. Go would seem much more apposite.

- jonfw 1y agoThese CLIs are just thin request clients a la curl. The code execution time is peanuts in comparison to the request latency
- CamouflagedKiwi 1y agoIt's not negligible versus a single request. Even `gcloud --help` takes over a second on this machine - actually getting it to do a simple list request takes almost no time longer over any reasonable connection. Plus Python is notoriously not easy to deploy for - a Go (or Rust or whatever) binary would have almost no dependencies to worry about.
- seneca 1y agoThe execution speed of the language the CLI is written in doesn't matter. Any difference is dwarfed by the slowness of network calls, specifically their API response times.
