kitty is written in Python, which instantly lowers the ceiling for performance by an order of magnitude. I discarded it as an option in the past: the most important requirement for me is the terminal cannot crash, and I can't trust a Python program to do that.

Much of kitty is written in C, particularly the (very fast) rendering pipeline.

I like Kitty graphics protocol, but never used it. Didn't know Kitty was python, always assumed it was compiled due to the reported speed benefits. Maybe I'd benefit from switch to foot since my setup is mostly wayland nowadays, extra startup speed would be great. Foot seems to also have working terminal clipboard integration with `micro` too.
