They did. And the result was a React render loop that takes 16ms to output a hundred characters to screen and tells them it will take a year to rewrite: https://x.com/trq212/status/2014051501786931427
What's extra funny is that curses diffs a virtual "current screen" to "new screen" to produce the control codes that are used to update the display. Ancient VDOM technology, and plenty fast enough.
