Win32: Simple to write, and works anywhere, thanks to wine.

> Desktop software is no longer important enough to support multiple platforms natively

Win32 is the closest we have to native multiplatform support with a single binary

If you use cosmopolitan, yes it can be even better: one binary working everywhere, with no need for emulators.

I think wine compiled with cosmopolitan is the future: - if running on windows, don't use wine - on linux or macos, use wine

There are X servers rendering in sixel format, so the above could be completed by adding a this X server to render within a sixel-aware terminal (say for when X will be deprecated)
