Forum Reactions

People are excited about Ratty. One user said:

Dude. Congrats. You actually made a compelling argument to put rust on my machine:P

Others have questions. For example:

Seems… really good?! Questions: – rendering capabilities of this seem like it should also be able to handle 2d well, or am I mistaken? every solution I see for getting high quality 2d images or rasterization in terminal is all pretty bad. Could this do better than other solutions or is there a fundamental limit being hit somewhere? – What happens with ssh given that this is gpu accelerated?

Conclusion

Ratty is an interesting project. Some users are already imagining the possibilities:

Can I really render a 3D rat on my terminal? If I can then I’m sold.
