Building a Custom Terminal from Scratch: Devlog #1

Short summary

A devlog about building a custom bash-like terminal in C++ to learn low-level programming. The author deliberately avoids standard libraries, using char pointers and manual memory management instead of std::string, and creates a custom char array struct with overloaded operators. The project eventually prompted a transition from C++ to C, revealing challenges like the lack of member functions and operator overloading in C.
