## FAQ
-- _proc-macro derive panicked during macOS build; what's wrong?_ There's an
- issue with the Rust compiler from Homebrew. Please follow the instructions

- _Is it really the fastest terminal emulator?_ In the terminals I've
benchmarked against, alacritty is either faster, WAY faster, or at least
neutral. There are no benchmarks in which I've found Alacritty to be slower.
