That discussion has pointers to various examples,
In general VMS Pascal/VMS Basic code should be maybe 25% shorter
than equivalent C code. But with a descriptor centric API like
SMG$ then it may be more like 40% shorter.
One could make a nice wrapper in C++ encapsulating the context
and convert between stl::string / C char array and descriptors.
But then a full screen VT UI is a concept that has been obsolete
for 30 years, so maybe there is little point.
People are still writing apps using the console.
