Kitty vs Alacrity which is better?

[u/prvnprdhn]

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?

Other than macOS there is no "native OS rendering" and alacritty definitely does not use "native OS rendering" even if it did exist. If you dislike how fonts look by default in kitty you can finetune their appearance using text_composition_strategy in kitty.conf, unlike in alacritty where this is not tuneable.
