What is the benefit of GPU acceleration?

My biggest gripe with things that I type into is the latency from keypress to when it shows on the screen. For instance, as I type this, I can clearly see a lag. If someone could come up with getting direct realtime raw access to keyboard to ensure there is zero perceptible latency (some chips that debounce switches can add even 50ms to keypress!), that would be something I'd love to have.

Yes, I'm also not clear on what is different between this and a PTY.

For claude to be able to React as an engine to render its UI.

I don't understand all the hooplah about gpu-accelerated terminals either really. If your x/compositor(/framebuffer?) is using the correct drivers, isn't it already accelerated? (I've never really used "pretty" or overly featureful terminal emulators so is this about decoration? Or actually outputting text?)

Initial commit 3 days ago.

A zig-out/bin folder committed.

CLAUDE.md in the root.

README.md full of em-dashes, as are plenty of the doc comments.

Slop.

Nobody is writing a "project structure" section by hand, and listing out the directory structure with _every file_.

Aside from the AI bits, "interesting" choice to use metal on MacOS, opengl on Linux, and skip Windows entirely.
