How Warp Works
The reason you don’t see a feature like blocks (with the exception of Upterm) in most other terminals is because the terminal has no concept of what program is running, or really of anything that’s happening within the shell. At a high level, a terminal reads and writes bytes from a pseudoterminal to interact with the shell. This technology is very antiquated--the shell essentially thinks it is interacting with a physical teletype terminal even though they haven’t been used in practice in over 30 years!

User Friendliness and Terminals
Suprised that no one has mentioned this, but upterm seems to be exactly what you're describing--a terminal emulator that shows a drop-down list of suggestions with explanations. Sadly, only a few commands are supported, and it's no longer being worked on.

Termy - A terminal with autocomplete
Currently haven't gone as far as making some kind of dedicated shell component though. I find it important that normal shells can work fine with in Extraterm. There was a project from a few years back which also mashed GUI/emulator together with the shell side, Upterm. SSH and containers tend to be the natural enemy of having your own shell though.

Terminal Support for Emoji
I'm on the VS Code team and maintain xterm.js which is what Hyper's frontend is based on. There are actually multiple developments happening in this area.
First, there's a contribution from the author of DomTerm which adds grapheme cluster support to xterm.js, which will correctly merge and size things like emoji that are called out in the post. This is currently based on Unicode 15. See https://github.com/xtermjs/xterm.js/pull/4519
Second, while Windows Terminal does seem to work with emoji sometimes, it doesn't all the time. I'm not 100% sure, but I think it may only work on Windows ptys, not in WSL for example. Last time I spoke with the team they said they're working on a rewrite which could lead to proper emoji support.

No-more-secrets: recreate the decryption effect seen in the 1992 movie Sneakers
Ooh, I lack the time to play with this, but I think someone could compile the lib to WebAssembly and tie it in to https://xtermjs.org/
Then you could have a web page with static DOM elements that do this effect!

Integrating the WebContainer API with Node.js
xterm is a JavaScript library that provides a web-based terminal emulator with ANSI escape sequences, Unicode characters, and other features. It is easy to use and customize, making it a popular choice for adding a terminal interface to web applications.

Compile emacs to wasm?
The simpler path would be starting the WASM port using Emacs character mode running alongside an in-browser terminal emulator such as XTerm.js.
