Command line tools that you want to start up fast without vm boot delay?

I don't understand this issue. 0.5 seconds or whatever is really negligible for me, personally. I wouldn't consider that a delay. Depends on the use case maybe 🤔

You have to boot the app, then run some rpc to it. It's not snappy at all and imo not usable for user interfaces. However if it's going to run persistently, then I have no problem. But I've explored this for my own system and found the delay undesirable. Same reason I don't run python tools.
