I am not talking about terminal support or something like that, but I actually find this example quite telling too, but from totally different perspective.

An effect that I could write in high school using Pascal and that would require only builtin library and few loops, in proposed source code requires so much *stuff*. Given that this is a fun demo and not something that one needs to maintain as enterprise software, I totally would accept such trade off and remove dust of something simpler.

Oh, memories.
