My first experience with programming was QBASIC in like 1997 - looked just like this. Minus the anti-aliased fonts, and a far lower resolution.
This needs to have DOS builds available. Is it performant enough for 90s hardware? I know the rust compiler itself isn't really.

Looking at this makes me nostalgic in a way the author probably hasn't intended. Rust is notorious for its slow compile times, while Turbo Pascal was known to be blazingly fast. And the debugger, one of the most important part of the experience is "Not implemented". Dressing it as a 1989 IDE makes me painfully aware of what we have lost. Despite running on hardware that were orders of magnitudes slower than today, so…
Great article for those interested in the matter:

There are hardware reasons too, related to polling frequencies etc. Great article for those interested in the matter: https://danluu.com/input-lag/
