rustty/README.md

this project is for me. Here are the priorities

• provide a complaint terminal emulator
• minimise application start time; time from rustty to a window appearing
• minimise build time; preferably builds from scratch in less than 30s

long term goals:

• emulate vt100
• run nvim

non-goals; never going to happen:

• non-*nix support
• non-compiletime configuration

rationale for the above:

alacritty is nice but it takes forever to start. I like st's philosophy. I am writing something with st's philosophy in rust, because I know rust already.

see HACKING.md for development tips

run with nix run --flake git+https://git.mtgmonkey.net/andromeda/rustty

build with cargo by cloning it and running cargo build --release
