It's a teletype terminal emulator, probably with pretty things and stuff. Who cares what language it is written in? Will writing it in Rust ensure that PF1-4 emulation will work properly?
You say that xxx is totally the wrong tool to use in the face of evidence that it might not be (Tabby is a tty emulator written in xxx). Why Rust and not Typescript?
I use a TTY rather a lot - konsole or Linux native and I can't really get too excited about what provides it these days. I recall discovering Gentoo back in around 2000 and the shell just looked lovely compared to all other distros. Do bear in mind that you have a shell running in your TTY. Nowadays I run Arch and its shell setup looks a lot better now than it did - strangely close to Gentoo.

I'm cough updating (repairing) my Arch laptop and sorting out a smart new Electron versioning snag (bye bye vscode for a while). Oh dear the CPU fan sounds rather Gentoo - I've been binging the AUR too much 8)
