Watching and computations are done on background threads to prevent any blocking.

The screen isn't cleaned until the compilation is finished to prevent flickering.

Rendering is adapted to the dimensions of the terminal to ensure you get a proper usable report.

Errors are displayed before warnings.

It should work on most unix systems, including linux and Mac OSX.

It should work on a decent terminal on Windows 11+ but I didn't test.

Why "bacon" ?
