#498: Algorithms for high performance terminal apps
Update: 2025-03-24
Description
In this episode, we welcome back Will McGugan, the creator of the wildly popular Rich library and founder of Textualize. We'll dive into Will's latest article on "Algorithms for High Performance Terminal Apps" and explore how he's quietly revolutionizing what's possible in the terminal, from smooth animations and dynamic widgets to full-on TUI (or should we say GUI?) frameworks. Whether you're looking to supercharge your command-line tools or just curious how Python can push the limits of text-based UIs, you'll love hearing how Will's taking a modern, web-inspired approach to old-school terminals.
