This came as a big surprise to me last year. I remember they announced that Codex CLI is opensource, and the codex-rs [0] from TypeScript to Rust, with the entire CLI now open source. This is a big deal and very useful for anyone wanting to learn how coding agents work, especially coming from a major lab like OpenAI. I've also contributed some improvements to their CLI a while ago and have been following their releases and PRs to broaden my knowledge.

- Leynos 9mo agoThey're leveraging the (relative) ubiquity of npm amongst developers.
- phrotoma 9mo agoYeah I'm out here installing a billion node things to have codex hack on my python app. Def gonna look into a standalone rust binary.
