We started with Electron/Typescript and pivoted to Rust when it was clear that the performance was unfeasible for certain workloads (e.g. scrolling on 4k monitors).

If we already had a C++ terminal, I don't know that we would've rewritten in Rust. Starting from scratch, we were able to build an app and ship features in a good cadence.

We mention Rust in our marketing, because when talking about our features like blocks, code editor, visual menus, people automatically think "slow".
