The best plot twist in this particular excuse parade is the excusemaker later saying that the hard problem to solve is if you "cat the wrong file or get a ridiculous output from a tool". Which is exactly what I demoed being very fast in refterm!https://twitter.com/roytries/status/1412457848676757505 …

The whole point of this endeavor is that actually the problem is trivial. It is the way people are programming that makes it appear slow. "Layout" and "rendering" or whatever else you think is slow is not slow at all, and it doesn't even require optimization to be fast!

The only reason I showed emoji and Unicode and Arabic and a 1gig file splat and all that was just so people _wouldn't_ keep saying the crap that Roy is saying, but he couldn't even be bothered to take the time to watch the video before adding to the garbage on Twitter. It sucks.

I'm just trying to understand how Roy came to say the things he said.. I think he wanted to say that a poorly optimized terminal window would be perfectly usable if it flushed stdout as fast as Casey's refterm.
