Programming a GPU in the pixel shader to do this lookup is really just emulating what actual terminals used to do! There's nothing new here. We're literally just putting in the "microcode" for literal terminal emulation :)

I have nothing to say other than this whole exchange is hilarious, if not sad to watch. Keep up the good work. Also keen on the C course.

It's one of those laugh for a while bits, but then feel sad about the state of technology.

I'm actually unsure what else one would do when wanting to use the GPU? Generate the texture on the CPU and then send it to the GPU?
-
I guess on-the-fly font rendering. Which honestly would still be incredibly fast if done using some kind of geometry generation, the CPU-uploaded input would be near identical.

there possibly had something like that in Teletexte applications ... Then there's that terminal extensions where you could issue a raw column of pixels ...

Put pixel developers think the screen is an array of bytes to play with. Put string developers can't see beyond their platform's libraries / API. Keep up the awesome work.

I personally heard young(ish) people call command line a new & innovative way to use a computer

Maybe the comments are best viewed as the "intellectually humble" version of the excuses you've already critiqued, as both originate from the same position: lack of knowledge with respect to past techniques, and what computers can do.
