THE PHOSPHOR ADVANTAGE

══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
01

Latency below perception

Every render completes in under 4ms. The phosphor refresh is the bottleneck, not the software.

02

Eighty columns, enforced

Hard line-length limits keep code legible at 3AM. No horizontal scroll. No exceptions.

03

Pipeline-native by default

Stdin, stdout, stderr — compose tools the UNIX way. No GUI middleware diluting the signal.

04

Sessions survive the network

Detach, reconnect, resume. Your terminal state persists through drops, reboots, and migrations.
