Six weeks of agentic coding in Rust: AICTL
For the last month and a half I’ve been working on a new project called AICTL. It’s a native AI agent for the terminal and macOS desktop, written in Rust. Source code is available on GitHub. It started mostly out of curiosity. I wanted to see how far I can push agentic software engineering on a real greenfield project - not a toy example or a weekend script, but a complete piece of software with a CLI, a desktop app, a server, documentation, CI, releases and the boring stuff around it. So I picked a domain I actually use every day (AI tooling), set a few constraints (Rust, native, one config, multiple frontends) and started experimenting. ...
