With terminal emulators having already existed for decades, what benefits do Rust and GPU acceleration bring at this point? What problem are they solving? Not trying to sound confrontational, if I do, I’m just curious.
- musicmatze 5y agoCannot say too much about that since I only tried alacritty once, and from what I see it is mainly speed. And yes, that's actually noticable, at least on my machine.
- z3t4 5y agoI have not used the above terminal emulators, but I got a fast high refresh monitor (250Hz) with a 1000Hz keyboard recently, and the programs supporting 250 refresh/second does feel snappier. While it does feel snappier, it's not like I can press over 200 keys per second anyway, it's like with good sound, it's "night vs day" once you've paid for premium.
