So I tried Alacritty the last time it was posted, and found that it was notably laggy compared even to vte-based terminal emulators, let alone urxvt. Maybe my use case is atypical (nouveau drivers, 4k monitor), but I was underwhelmed given that Alacritty claims to be "the fastest terminal emulator in existence." It's definitely not there yet, or at least it wasn't a couple of weeks back.
Since it was posted about a month ago there has been on the order of 100+ commits from a variety of people. I'm hoping @jwilm pops in to respond:<p>- Since it started getting community activity, where do you feel the direction of this is going now?<p>- Where has the interest for this been amongst the contributors?<p>- What's the short term roadmap looking like?
