It's not insane. FYI the fastest terminal (alacritty) achieves its performance by rendering via gpu, and it's written in rust. iTerm recently started doing it too.
- nickjj 7y agoBut if you look at input latency benchmarks (there was one posted not too long ago on HN, maybe a month or 6 weeks ago) alacritty isn't close to the fastest terminal for pressing a key and being able to see the key on the screen. IMO pressing a key and seeing it is the primary focus of a terminal.
