![]() Hah, yeah I'm aware, but the potential of Rust is huge. This is a direction that I wish we were going, but it's not clear to me how to get there without many sacrifices. Displaying images, richer interfaces that don't depend on ASCII bar characters, graphs, properly tabulated results, etc. ![]() One question: do you have any plans to use Alacritty to try and advance the state of terminal emulators more generally? e.g. ![]() Some contemporary alternatives like Electron-based terminals are academically interesting, but are programs I'd never want to use due to the huge step backwards in these areas. This sort of project that plausibly replaces software traditionally written only in C/C++ with something that has performance parity, but is in a language where contributions are relatively accessible and safe, is the most exciting thing even within the bounds of an intriguing ecosystem.Īs someone who is especially concerned about the performance of my tooling these days due to what seems to be a generally infinite willingness to accept web apps that are slower than desktop apps from decades ago, and which seem to continually demand more resources year over year, I really appreciate that such a distinguishing eye has been given to Alacritty's speed and resource usage. At the risk of sounding hyperbolic, I think Rust is the most exciting thing that's happening in computing today. I just want to say that this project is amazing. ![]()
