What's this!? No Javascript runtime, no NPM package dependencies. Can software really be built without it?
I jest of course. This is really cool and nice to see something like this, make the front page of HN for once!

This is awesome! It will be really helpful to me while reversing or doing CTFs. Previously I'd hack shit together in python to do this stuff one-off.

Finally, a modern application without Electron + big-js-framework bloat... Amazing job! Gets my star :)

This is really cool + extra points for the vi/vim keybindings

This might just replace the radare2 "?" command for me!

Okay, you're pretty much asking for the wrath of God here. Bonus points if you can compile it down to 666 KB.

Dev should check out https://www.kylheku.com/cygnal
If you can compile this for Cygwin, you can deploy it as a native Windows application with Cygnal's fork of cygwin1.dll (plus other needed DLL's from Cygwin).
Console support is fine; even programs that use termios and ANSI codes directly work in a Windows console (like out of cmd.exe).
That was one of the primary motivations for Cygnal; I wanted a decent quality Windows port of a programming language with a well-developed REPL: something someone could just install from a regular installer, and then run out of cmd.exe with the same interactive experience as on Unixes.
