It is also similar to other, much more modern, +GPU-accelerated terminal emulators such as Alacritty and Kitty. What +really sets Zutty apart is its radically simple, yet extremely +efficient rendering implementation, coupled with a sufficiently +complete feature set to make it useful for a wide range of users. Zutty +offers high throughput with low latency, and strives to conform to +relevant (published or de-facto) standards. + +Zutty is written in straightforward C++ and only relies on OpenGL +ES 3.1 for rendering, making it trivially portable to windowing systems +other than X and operating systems other than Linux. Zutty provides a +clean implementation written from scratch, resulting in a minimal, +maintainable, modern codebase unencumbered by historical baggage. |
