The Internet’s Verdict: 70% Hyped, 30% Skeptical

Introduction to Ratty

Ratty is a new terminal emulator that is gaining attention for its inline 3D graphics capabilities. Some users are excited about the potential of Ratty, while others are skeptical.

Forum Voices

Some users have expressed their opinions on Ratty. For example:

UNIX still trying to catch up with Xerox workstations in the REPL experience, or general Lisp machines for that matter. Inline graphics from 1981, https://youtu.be/o4-YnLpLgtk?t=376

Others have noted the potential of Ratty, saying:

I like this. No reason the terminal should only support text. Data science notebooks show one way the terminal can evolve. Lots of interesting stuff happening in this space, with Kitty probably being the most aggressive innovator here.

However, some users have also raised concerns about the dependencies and compatibility of Ratty.

Technical Considerations

Ratty’s rendering capabilities and GPU acceleration are also being discussed. One user asked:

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.

These are just a few examples of the discussions surrounding Ratty.
