Terminal tools, with Michelle Lim & Zach Lloyd (Warp) - S02E10

In this episode we speak to Michelle Lim and Zach Lloyd, both of Warp, a terminal designed to make developer workflows more productive. We discuss the historical significance of physical terminals, terminal emulators, pseudo-terminals and the shell. We also explore why Rust is a better technology choice than Electron for building a new terminal, why GPU acceleration matters, how it works with the macOS Metal APIs, and discuss the challenges garbage collection brings to high performance UIs.Get early access to Warp with this special invite code: https://app.warp.dev/download/r/1CNSLEAbout Michelle Lim & Zach LloydZach Lloyd is the founder and CEO of Warp, a Rust-based terminal for developers.
