Is this really a hard problem? Rendering some text with coloring?

I believe we're just making everything harder than it needs by constraining it to a browser interface. This would be trivial as a terminal application written in native code.

What are you even talking about, this post is about rendering code diffs in the context of the web.

Whether or not it would be "trivial" in a native terminal application is irrelevant.
