Add zt

zt is a minimal, ultra-fast terminal emulator written in pure Zig.

Highlights

  • 1,382 MB/s throughput, 3.5ms startup, 4.3MB RSS
  • Single-threaded epoll event loop, pure Zig (no libc for fbdev backend)
  • Dual backend: Linux framebuffer and X11/XCB
  • 59,635 embedded glyphs (BDF parsed at comptime)
  • Full VT parser with xterm-256color + TrueColor
  • Cross-compiles to aarch64 with zig build -Dtarget=aarch64-linux
