The compiler output looks really bad (Mac OS)

[Owez]

I tried this code:

N/A, git clone https://github.com/nobane/tokio-tui/ && cargo run --example tui-console -- -ar

I expected to see this happen: Normal rustc comp

Instead, this happened: Many [?][?][?][?][?][?][?][?][?][?] and light grey format terminal text which looks bad

Meta

MacOS is the relevant, using the stock terminal on macos

Description

The rustc output looks bad on macos, maybe it looks better on others. But it is a big regression in terminals to look like this:

The scrollbar works alright and I like that feature:

But the poor grey-ed out text and the status bar is bad, and definately a regression from the normal. From a UX POV this looks bad, and I would heavily prefer the previous iteration of the compiler output. For macos, it probs works fine for other os's.

Also, theres an interactive prompt where you can't ctrl+c on it to cancel? That's bad. If there's a malicious crate with a similar name to a real one, you'd want to cancel – its basic cli.

rustc 1.85.0-nightly (4d669fb34 2024-12-08)

If this isn't rustc specific, could you point me to what crate gens this?

Thanks :)
