i'm working on a thing with a terminal in a browser and I can't believe I wasted so much time in the past trying to find a Go library that could act as a backend for xtermjs.org/ when it seems so much easier just to write it myself from scratch? like I think it's literally just a few lines of Go gluing together github.com/creack/pty and github.com/gorilla/websocket, plus some code to resize the pty when the browser's screen resizes

very grateful to my past self for writing jvns.ca/blog/2022/07/28/toy-re which I needed to read to remind myself how terminals work
