Speaking of the terminal emulator, it is about sending and receiving data to and from the server, and I think that there is not much room to evolve. Many are tab functions, improvement of appearance and usability such as color theme function is main.
Alacritty that appeared in such a moment is a bit different. There are not many functions, and it has become a terminal emulator with a focus on being fast anyway.
How to use Alacritty
Alacritty says it will run faster by rendering with GPU.
I ran the top command. I certainly feel that drawing is fast.
The idea of drawing at high speed by using the GPU for terminal display is unique. Alacritty emphasizes simple and fast operation, without pursuing functionality. At the time of writing it is for macOS and Linux, but it is said that we plan to support Windows by 1.0.
Alacritty is open source software for macOS / Linux (Apache Licnese 2.0).
