Creator of Ghostty here. Always a fan of new terminals. I noticed your benchmarks are against Ghostty 1.3.1, which is fair, since its the latest released, but our IO throughputs in particularly the areas you tested have improved by more than double on some machines, so if you get a chance, I would ask you rebenchmark on `main`.
I don't know if it'd be faster than your terminal or not, but it'd be significantly faster than 1.3.1. On my M4 MacBook Pro, ASCII processing improved by about 2.8x, if that holds in your benchmarks, it would be faster than shitty. But, who knows. I'd prefer you ran it yourself.
What are your go-to checks for quality terminals, when you are scoping out something new?
I'll definitely do it as soon as the release happens!
I'd try the master, but I have no experience with the zig ecosystem. I'd end up compiling something wrong and getting weird results. I'd rather wait for the official binaries!
Ghostty provides official nightly builds from the main branch [0]. You do not need to build it yourself.
