If your terminal ever gets into a 'bad state', like garbled outputs, you run 𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚎𝚝. I noticed it was… oddly slow. Turns out in 1979 3BSD's 𝚝𝚜𝚎𝚝 had a 𝚜𝚕𝚎𝚎𝚙(𝟷) to let mechanical printer-and-ink terminals 'settle down' 😂 I asked 𝚏𝚡 to write me a faster alternative in Zig. It takes 1ms instead of 1s. It was really cool to dive deeper into 𝚗𝚌𝚞𝚛𝚜𝚎𝚜, 𝚝𝚜𝚎𝚝, 𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚏𝚘, and the myriad ways in which your terminal can get… cursed. It's legit fascinating how far back…
