i am confused between kitty and alacrity

i have used both and felt like kitty is more faster and snappy but code looks more cody and in alacrity it feel slightly laggy as compared to kitty but the code is much more readable in it as it uses OS's native font rendering

which is better speed vs readability?

Man, learning Linux is a blast! From tweaking the system and fixing errors, to finding tools that auto-generate color schemes damn, it's just so good

Kitty 0.48 is out. Highlights:

Vertical tabs. The tab bar can now sit along the left or right edge of the window via tab_bar_edge, useful on wide/ultrawide displays where horizontal space is more available than vertical.

Clicking inside an unfocused kitty window now both focuses it and sends the click through to the target element, brings Linux behavior in line with the existing macOS default.

Graphics protocol gained a transient usage hint, letting apps mark an image as short-lived so kitty can handle it more efficiently. remote-control get-text kitten can now pull text from the alternate screen buffer and its scrollback.

Wayland: fixes for initial window sizing under fractional scaling, and a fix for tab-creation issues specifically on GNOME.

Several regression fixes carried over from recent point releases (layout neighbor-navigation direction, GIF disposal rendering in icat, doubled key repeats on some Wayland compositors).
