What? Technology has stopped making sense to me. Drawing a UI with React and rasterizing it to ANSI? Are we competing to see what the least appropriate use of React is? Are they really using React to draw a few boxes of text on screen?

I'm just flabbergasted.

There is more than meets the eye for sure. I recently compared a popular TUI library in Go (Bubble Tea) to the most popular Rust library (Ratatui). They use significantly different approaches for rendering. From what I can tell, neither is insane. I haven’t looked to see what Claude Code uses.
