Add alacritty 
It turns out that I don't actually *need* image output in the terminal
(besides being cool). With that aside, I can safely use alacritty
knowing that it's written in Rust and is apparently the fastest terminal
emulator in existence.

alacritty

alacritty is a new terminal emulator written in Rust.

Use Cases

alacritty can be used to:

  • Have a terminal emulator that just works.
  • Have a terminal emulator with modern features like live reload, and without all the extras like window management.
  • Master tmux since you won't be relying on window management of your terminal emulator.

You should not use alacritty if:

  • You have a desire to output images in your terminal (use kitty instead, since [libsixel][lixsixel] support is WIP)
  • You have a need to use Japanese input in your terminal (an issue for over 3 years in alacritty). kitty supports this, however.
