Could you build this?
Partial A basic GUI wrapper around a PTY is vibe-codeable, but building a production-grade, low-latency native terminal emulator with persistent sessions and custom panes requires low-level systems programming.
What it would actually take: A native macOS terminal requires Swift/AppKit or Rust (e.g., Alacritty core) interfacing directly with POSIX pseudo-terminals (`pty/forkpty`), Metal or CoreText rendering for GPU-accelerated glyph caching, and tmux-like session virtualization. The hard part is terminal emulation correctness (VT100/xterm escape sequence parsing, reflow, shell integration) and minimal input latency without Electron overhead. Implementing this requires low-level systems programming expertise in terminal emulation and native macOS APIs.
