cansi-kotlin in Kotlin
This is a Kotlin Multiplatform line-by-line transliteration port of kurtlawrence/cans.
Original Project: This port is based on kurtlawrence/cans. All design credit and project intent belong to the upstream authors; this repository is a faithful port to Kotlin Multiplatform with no behavioural changes intended.
Porting status
This is an in-progress port. The goal is feature parity with the upstream Rust crate while providing a native Kotlin Multiplatform API. Every Kotlin file carries a // port-lint: source <path> header naming its upstream Rust counterpart so the AST-distance tool can track provenance.
