Who cares that it's Rust if it's closed source? Also: "All cloud features are opt-in. Data is encrypted at rest." The fact that this even needs to be stated makes it a hard no, especially for a terminal emulator.
We are particularly excited about sharing our Rust UI framework since there aren't a lot of great options for building native UIs in Rust right now. We want to make it cross-platform first though.
FYI, this appears to be a startup launching an e-mail signup for a product that isn't available yet. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but it's worth noting up front. There is no download link and the GitHub link goes to an issues-only repo with no code. There are several fast Rust-based, GPU-accelerated terminal projects that are open source and under active development: Alacritty: https://github.com/alacritty/ala…

I spend 1/3rd of my day in terminal emulators, and anything that reduces the number of stupid (normally memory corruption) crashes that interrupt my work is a legitimate value proposition for me.
Edit: This isn’t an endorsement of this particular product, to be clear. I don’t know anything about it, except that being written in a fast, memory safe language endears me to it.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
We mention Rust primarily because it produces a really high-performance app and to make clear that it's not built using Electron or web tech. We wrote up a pretty detailed technical design if you're interested in checking out how we built and why we made the decisions we made: https://blog.warp.dev/how-warp-works/
I was just looking at that! It seems that I'm also conflating "terminal" and "shell" here possibly. Is Warp both in this case?

Somehow it feels odd that an implementation detail like the programming language it's implemented in is so prominent in the project's description. I have no idea what bash is written in and frankly I don't care much about it. It's a tool that enables me do be more productive. Could it be faster? Probably, but does anyone even notice that in the context of all the other things that we do _with_ it? Are there any benef…
This is a terminal emulator not a shell language so this should be compared to the likes of Xfce4-terminal, Konsole, Alacritty, Kitty, st, etc...

Assuming that it wasn’t a rhetorical question: I do.

The UI seems interesting, and I'm a sucker for RIIR, but why do terminal emulators keep trying to use "blazingly fast" as a feature? They're all fast (except the hideous electron ones), they're white text on black rectangles.
Yet when the subject of terminal emulators comes up, there are often comments from other HN users insisting that Windows terminal emulators are molasses compared to MacOS, or that this emulator is much faster than that. I don't get it.
