  Since it was posted about a month ago there has been on the order of 100+ commits from a variety of people. I'm hoping @jwilm pops in to respond: - Since it started getting community activity, where do you feel the direction of this is going now? - Where has the interest for this been amongst the contributors? - What's the short term roadmap looking like?

  So I tried Alacritty the last time it was posted, and found that it was notably laggy compared even to vte-based terminal emulators, let alone urxvt. Maybe my use case is atypical (nouveau drivers, 4k monitor), but I was underwhelmed given that Alacritty claims to be "the fastest terminal emulator in existence." It's definitely not there yet, or at least it wasn't a couple of weeks back.

    I came here to say the same thing. There is ano issue already about it. I've benched the program but didn't get the results I was hoping for I'm afraid. It would be great if someone could take a look at that. I think it has something to do with the Intel drivers but I might be mistaken.

    Strange, I find it incredibly quick, and quite frankly looks better than pretty much every other emulator out there. Two issues (256color in vim, scrollback) I currently have are show stoppers but I'm sure some people won't mind. https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty/issues/26 https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty/issues/26 https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty/issues/124 https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty/issues/124
