v21.7.0- This gist refers to https://twitter.com/kibertoad/status/1765525939121803560
- I suspect the results from https://github.com/BeeeQueue/node-cli-colors-benchmark?tab=readme-ov-file#results are not realistic, as most of the libraries perform a check if the TTY is available to output before getting creating the string.
- I didn't run my benchmark in a dedicated machine (due to limited bandwidth), but the results seems consistent on my OSX M2.
- It is also important to mention that two different benchmark tools were used and may be responsible for the results presented.
