Curious to know what makes this "a proper VT100 implementation in the browser, not a JavaScript approximation of one" -- isn't Ghostty also an approximation, just implemented in a different language? Seems unnecessarily pejorative to me.

Agreed. I removed "not a JavaScript approximation of one" from the README.

Aren't terminals also called... terminal emulators? All modern terminals would be an approximation by this logic. Some approximate backwards compatibility with VT** spec more than others.
