Could you build this?
Partial Building a GUI terminal clone requires low-level PTY allocation, VT100/ANSI escape sequence parsing, and terminal emulation internals.
What it would actually take: The stack involves Go interfacing with OS-specific pseudoterminal (PTY) libraries (e.g., creack/pty) and rendering via a native Go GUI framework. The hard part is correctly parsing and rendering complex ANSI/VT escape sequences, supporting full screen buffers, cursor handling, unicode/grapheme clustering, and low-latency rendering. It requires deep knowledge of POSIX terminal standards and low-level I/O streams.
