Terminal app built over WebGPU, WebAssembly and Rust

• Rio

  15 2,946 9.9 Rust

  A hardware-accelerated GPU terminal emulator focusing to run in desktops and browsers. (by raphamorim)

I can't wait to have the terminal fully compiling to WebAssembly and runnable in Wasmer! [1] [2]

• Windows Terminal

  507 93,619 9.7 C++

  The new Windows Terminal and the original Windows console host, all in the same place!

  

It may have something to do with this mind blowing exchange between Casey Muratori (a highly experienced game engine developer) and the Microsoft Terminal team.

https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/10362

It really highlighted how crappy software gets written in large corporations. They told him rendering monospaced fonts on the GPU would involve a multi year PHD research project.

Apparently they then went on to infiltrate his discord server so they could ask questions. Then write up a blog post calling the change "trivial".

• wezterm

  131 13,929 9.8 Rust

  A GPU-accelerated cross-platform terminal emulator and multiplexer written by @wez and implemented in Rust

AFAIK wezterm[1] and warp[2] are built on top of the WebGPU

• colors

  8 1,033 4.8

  Color standards for terminal emulators (by termstandard)

  

Did anyone actually send Apple a memo? At https://github.com/termstandard/colors#not-supporting-trueco... there are pointers to where people have asked, when they have. There's nothing for Terminal.App.

(That's the big push that I mentioned. Going since January 2014.)

• rust

  2,686 93,266 10.0 Rust

  Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

  

As a rust programmer, you can explain to us where in this source code the rust compiler is emitting these escape sequences for colours outwith the AIXTerm 16 colour set.

  289 22,064 9.9 Python

  Cross-platform, fast, feature-rich, GPU based terminal

Spare a thought for we developers of terminal emulators. The block and line drawing characters have been being bodged since the time that IBM added the extra 9th column in hardware.

I have a fairly trivial bodge for them in mine. Kovid Goyal over a period of 7 years has built up an extensive system for overriding the glyphs for block and line drawing characters that are supplied in fonts and replacing them with ones that Kitty constructs itself, all started because they just didn't line up when using what the fonts supplied.
