"I don't care too much because creating your own terminal is like 20 lines of code these days. People who really care can just create one as easy as configuring an existing one."

Just write it in Rust, it will be faster than the C/C++ equivalent /s

I have literally written my own terminal. (In Rust, btw) It took me three years and four major rewrites. It's way more than 20 loc.

Also, I know way too much about ANSI escape codes now.
