Aminal: Golang terminal emulator from scratch
While a GPU accelerated terminal emulator sounds great on paper, do keep in mind that GPU acceleration doesn't really give you that much in terms of raw performance. You still have to render glyphs individually, almost always on CPU. So, the reality is probably more that GPU acceleration gives you more flexibility, rather than giving you performance. Anecdotally, I just ran this and it takes roughly twice as long to slog through my dmesg as gnome-terminal.That said... pretty cool. I don't know if there already existed VT100 emulation written in Go, but it doesn't hurt to have that. Plenty of applications might want to embed a terminal or otherwise have terminal emulation.
