Works great simulates std_logic circuits just fine

I realized that it’s essential to limit simulation with ultimately a WAIT; statement including a clock generator with limited total time
Here is a simple test setup beyond just text:

Enjoy.. great job by the developer of the App and the original open source VHDL Compiler Designer
————————————————
-- Hello world program
library IEEE;
use IEEE.std_logic_1164.all;

use std.textio.all; -- Imports the standard textio package.

-- Defines a design entity, without any ports.
entity hello is
end hello;

architecture behaviour of hello is

signal index : integer:=0;
signal clk : std_logic := '0';
begin
process(clk)
variable l : line;
begin
if(rising_edge(clk)) then
write(l,String'("/"));
writeline (output, l);
end if;
end process; process

begin
index <= index +1;
clk <= not clk;
wait for 1 ns;
if index > 20 then
wait;
end if;
end process;
end behaviour;
