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.

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.

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

I don't mean to derail discussion about a cool project, but it still seems to imply xterm.js is somehow "improper" emulation (though I might be misreading it).

Terminal emulators are all approximations of terminals, regardless of the programming language.

They are approximations but Ghostty has intentional effort towards correctness, more than I've seen from other terminal emulators.

		Fair enough. I haven't looked at the internals of ghostty, so I'll take your word for it. I'm probably also just taking things personally.
