I love the purism of this -- "pure assembly terminal emulator. x86_64 Linux, no libc, X11 wire protocol".
Terminal emulator written in x86_64 Linux assembly. No libc, no runtime, pure syscalls. Speaks X11 wire protocol directly via Unix socket. Single static binary, ~155KB. No toolkit, no rendering library, no external font engine. The TTF rasterizer (glyph) is embedded in-binary via %include. Just your keystrokes, the X11 server, and the kernel. Part of the CHasm (CHange to ASM) suite: bare (shell), show (file viewer), glass (terminal emulator).
