Introducing the Windows Pseudo Console (ConPty)
Hey I'm one of the Console devs who's been working on this feature for a while now. I'll be hanging around in the comments for a little while to try and answer any questions that people might have.TL;DR of this announcement: We've added a new pseudoconsole feature to the Windows Console that will the people create "Terminal" applications on Windows very similarly to how they work on *nix. Terminals will be able to interact with the conpty using only a stream of characters, while commandline applications will be able to keep using the entire console API surface as they always have.
