My experience with terminals was like this - Alacritty -> Ghostty -> tty7. The last one implements exactly what I had in mind when I used Alacritty and Ghostty. Only it doesn't hype much (the author apparently doesn't strive for that much), maybe that's for the better.

Oohh. I hadn't heard of tty7. I like its goal.

Unfortunately, it seems to be doing something strange - I use vi-mode with nushell and it renders every character I press - even in normal mode.

I might keep an eye on it - hopefully they improve whatever they're doing with local echo.

I should say - I currently use WezTerm for exactly the feature tty7 advertises about session support. Even remote sessions.

Too bad it's still not in Debian.

Artisan call out work starts. The hipster stance in the AI world.

A bit dismissive, I'd say it's a defensive statement because pretty much everything posted on the internet with a comment system will have an "Is this AI? I can see from some of the pixels and having seen quite some AI in my time" type remark.

ghostty vs xterm.js (the VS Code terminal) - obviously ghostty is going to have better performance, but I just have never hit a performance limit in the VS Code terminal. I don't understand the demand for an ultra-accelerated terminal engine, but it's so popular it must be something i'm missing...

I'm using xterm.js with the canvas/gpu renderer in my app, driving these modern coding agents that seems to use every features in the book of terminals and it's perfectly fine.

The dom renderer is also perfectly fine, just needs a little bit more careful CSS to make it look right with some of the fancy line art.

I do use ghostty and it's alright. It's required for some rich TUI ai seems to be pumping out. Otherwise I prefer tilix and the default gnome terminal, but it might be just because of years of habit.

Here's a recent interview with Ghostty's creator about its philosophy, goals etc. https://alexalejandre.com/interviews/interview-with-mitchell...

I love ghostty and libghostty.

thanks to libghostty, ghostel.el is the nicest terminal for emacs going. Thanks to you & the others behind it.

Is there a plan to have pre compiled binary on Linux? Having to download a zig compiler is a bit annoying...

There's a third party appimage, still on 1.3.1 though: https://github.com/pkgforge-dev/ghostty-appimage

Normally not a fan of appimages, but this group focuses on making higher quality versions that make very few assumptions about the host system and work almost anywhere. While also prioritizing speed, small sizes, and up-to-date dependencies.

you should be able to get it from your system package manager or flatpack. linux is annoying here because it's a GUI app.

The Ghostty bandwagon is pretty loaded up, but iTerm is still where it's at. Recently saw some work on some iTerm work for multiple platforms from someone and it looks like it will work. Pretty excited about iTerm on Linux and Windows.

iTerm on linux would be the dream! I wanted to switch to ghostty for the performance and sane defaults, but it’s just not feature complete with iTerm yet

Updated comment: Ghost is better than Hugo. I am moving my site to Ghost (and because it's drudge work, assigning it to Claude).

I was sleepy and didn't realize in my original comment that Ghostty and Ghost are different.

I miss Ghostty when I am on my Windows machine. Really wish it was available on Windows.
