When looking at alternatives like Codeanywhere, their IDE’s terminal feels far snappier when using a TUI. I’m using Python with PyTermTk and just typing in a textbox starts lagging the terminal.
I don’t want to pay to see if things work quicker or not for a GUI but the Codeanywhere basic plan says it has the same amount of vCPUs as the Hacker plan. Could the terminal code be refactored to run quicker?
If you create a basic program with PyTermTk, have a window, load it with widgets, and then try to move the window around, it lags hard. Moving up and down with scrollbars also lags out to the point you can see the screen trying to redraw.
