Dynamic memory compression
No terminal or text editor has ever been able to dynamically compress document memory during use. But WindTerm does now!
Now you only need 100MB memory to output 100 million
lines of text for seq 1 100000000
command, or even 1GB memory to output 2 billion
lines of text for seq 1 2000000000
command.
