Can rhide be built with this new tv? If so that will be the only ide I'll use and I'll never leave
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Man I hope you are wrong.. because I was literally planning to build an IDE for Algorand/Python/PyTEAL with this (I know, mentioning Algorand is an automatic downvote, oh well). You might be right.. but I am not sure. Could Borland really sue you or something, many years they release the full source code "as is", "provided gratuitously", "no support", "no updates"? I mean it doesn't explicitly say "public domain", bu…
I hope I am wrong. But I don't see anywhere in the text of this license any explicit permission to use it for any purpose, it's basically only a warranty disclaimer, unless some bits were omitted by accident.
I've already asked the question, but is there a way to embed this in a regular app ? I mean, if I want to have a "retro" like GUI but I don't want to bother my users with opening a terminal/console, can I embed this ? The thing I'm thinking about would be to extract the alacritty render code and make it a library... But that's sure not easy to do...

Broadly, love seeing projects like this. Entirely too much wheel reinvention going on, well, everywhere in software. Let's go back, see what worked pretty well for a long while, and just updated or rewrite it to similar specs. Any more things going on like this?
- No concurrency whatsoever.
- No Unicode support.
- In particular, no wide characters support (Chinese, Japanese, emoji).
Not that these are unsurmountable difficulties. But they need to be addressed before jumping to use the good old ways.
I bought a mouse specifically for this. It was a Genius and came with a holder which you could stick to the side of your monitor or to a wall. So you could store your mouse when not in use. I am not making this up.
It also had a ball that you had to remove every third day or so and then clean the friction rollers inside the mouse which the ball was turning. All the dust the ball picked up transferred onto those rollers and coagulated into dense felt around them until they stopped turning. Mine had three buttons though!

It also worked under certain assumptions. - No concurrency whatsoever. - No Unicode support. - In particular, no wide characters support (Chinese, Japanese, emoji). Not that these are unsurmountable difficulties. But they need to be addressed before jumping to use the good old ways.
It reminds me of the great rhide, of djgpp fame. It was a similar project.
