Warp: The fast, Rust-based termnal

  IDE-style autocomplete for your existing terminal & shell

  

Co-founder of Fig (https://fig.io) here.

I'm pleased that there is more innovation in the terminal emulator space. For a tool used by just about every developer, not a ton has changed since the launch of the VT100 [1] in the 70s.

Fig adds autocomplete [2] to your existing terminal. Soon, we're launching the ability for you to build your own visual apps and shortcuts (like these: https://fig.io/videos/old-sizzle-reel.mp4) and share them with your team or the community.

Rather than building our own terminal, we integrate with the terminals you already use (even the one embedded in your IDE). This means everyone on a team can collaborate but keep using their existing terminal and shell setup.

We are excited to integrate Fig with Warp.

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

FYI, this appears to be a startup launching a paid product. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but it's worth noting up front.

There is another fast Rust-based, GPU-accelerated terminal project that is open source and under active development: https://github.com/wez/wezterm

> I don't get it either - I use Windows (the default cmd, Powershell and Cmder), Linux and MacOS and don't recall a terminal emulator being slow... ever.

You might be a particular type of person... I don't remember Windows Cmd being not slow, ever. It feels extremely sluggish sluggish. It has to do something with Windows ConHost, but I don't know about the details.

In fact, even most terminals on Linux are unbearable to me. Not only do the antialised vector fonts tire the eyes on sub-4K screens - most of the terminals I've tried feel slow as well, though not as slow as Windows Cmd.
