This looks interesting. It’s very new, so it will likely be a while before any OS would adopt it, but it definitely shows promise of a possible alternative to grub down the road

Why 80? It feels so restricted to have that short line.
Because long lines are bad for splits and/or vertical monitors. You don’t know the viewport the code will be read in, so keeping to a conservative width is helpful. If things wrap or require scrolling, that’s a lot worse for legibility, whereas having lines limited to 80 has minimal impact on legibility.
