term.js was originally created by Fabrice Bellard -- see the headers of @chjj's term.js file [1]. Bellard wrote term.js since he needed a way to interact with his amazing port [2] of Linux to a web browser. Term.js had a non-open-source license and @chjj spent time a decade ago successfully convincing Bellard to relicense term.js open source (I watched and greatly appreciated this as it happened!). Xterm.js is a very significant rewrite and improvement of term.js, mostly done by Daniel Imms who is on the VS Code team at Microsoft; xterm.js is a great contribution of Microsoft to open source, and is used at VS Code's terminal. I watched all this happen over the years, visited Daniel at Microsoft, etc.; I think this is all very useful tech (e.g., we use it in JupyterLab and CoCalc).
