Ghost in the terminal

[–] tun@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

For me, I am always excited about new things.

AFAIK, this is the first terminal written in zig and the author is famous.

There is #showcase channel on its discord server. One of those is Ghostty vs iTerm2 resizing by dragging and the former is “butter smooth” according to the poster.

I am waiting for the release.
