It seemed like it could be fun and educational, so I started making a
9-like terminal for OS X using the native text widget:
https://github.com/alltom/coolterm
But there are 2 things I’ve had trouble figuring out on my own:
1) Why do programs like ‘python’ show a prompt in 9term but not in my
terminal?
2) Why does bash write your command to stdout? Why doesn’t rc? I use bash,
so I made it erase the command you typed when you press enter, but that
appears to be the wrong thing to do with rc.
There’s other stuff in BUGS.md but I feel more confident about those
things. :)
