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.

They didn’t ask me to develop a terminal emulator, and I said no.
