The Bombadil Terminal Experiment

That’s amazing, I love it! Stress testing my TUIs now.

I left it running hledger add for a few minutes and it succeeded in adding many entries, such as:

2026-04-30 XY
    7                 1s`
    86u-:            -1s`

2026-04-30
    *                   5
    86u-:              -5
    o                   9
    yvf4              -9T
    _                  -9
    O                  9T

2026-04-30 *
    -M                I2
    fqG6             I-2
    g                 >2
    tQ               >-2
    1g                M0

2026-04-30
    5={             5%wdk
    86u-:         -5%wdk_
    o                  v0
    yvf4           -5%wdk
    _             5%wdk_u
    O              5%wdk_
    Krq          -5%wdk_u
    H`                  8
    $                  -8
    +e                  6
    )&                 -6

It even managed to add one with a transacted cost (@@):

2026-04-30
    5                   5
    86u-:              -5
    o                 9)\
    yvf4              XY4
    liM              -9)\
    {qO5P       9i @@ 9iC
    %                   9
    ^K'Rw            -9]Y
    "Q7A               -9
    g+V.v            XY-4
    %F                9]Y
    Q                -9iC

I imagine this is already very good at finding bugs (and vulnerabilities), and if coupled with a bit of AI would be much more so.

bombadil-terminal test ghcup tui is fun (and finds no problems..)

Though.. ha ha.. what have I done to my system …
