Libghostty is a very cool project, this is an exciting release, kudos to mitchellh for spearheading this as well as all the people who have made contributions to the project. I use ghostty as my primary terminal emulator today and a few months ago I was experimenting with using libghostty in an android project that I plan to jump back to someday when I have the time, so I personally benefit from this work.

Indeed it is. It feels like libghostty was only announced yesterday and already there are things like ghostel for emacs that are imo far above and beyond the other emacs terminal options.

  • Ghostel is the first Emacs terminal emulator I've used that really just worked. Vterm and EAT were nice at for time but it's like night and day to Ghostel.

  • As of recently, the embedded terminal in Jetbrains IDEs is also based on libghostty.

    • And it has been such an upgrade.

      There was so many little things that bugs me with JediTerm, unsupported escape sequences, bugged visualization, truncated output, you name it.

      Now it just work, like it supposed to.
