Gemini 4 and Rust TUIs

Tue, 13 Oct 2026 00:00:00 -0500

We last looked at Ratatui and VCR back in July. I recently had a need for VCR and it reminded me that Ratatui was something I demo’ed but never really tried to use.

With Google Gemini 4 Argon releasing today, I thought this might be a fine opportunity to test it with some new and rust based.

I’m not just going to make a TUI that does nothing. Instead, I’ll be pairing this with a demo I’ll be giving down in Rochester MN for the Code and Connect night.
