Could you build this?
No Writing a full-featured AI coding agent engine in Rust with custom CLI, TUI, HTTP servers, tool executions, and process isolation requires deep systems programming expertise.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires an asynchronous runtime (Tokio), a TUI library (Ratatui), and an HTTP server (Axum) coordinating an agentic execution loop with tool invocation, diff application, and context compaction. The hard parts include building robust cross-platform subprocess handling, sandboxing, parsing stream events, and low-latency local state management in Rust without relying on standard Node/Python ecosystems. It requires seasoned systems programmers and compiler/tooling engineers.
