OT: I'm most excited by Ghostty (created by the founder of HashiCorp).

What are you excited about concerning Ghostty? I revisit the project every once in a while, because I think Zig has a wonderful and bright future, but I don't think I could ever use a terminal emulator that isn't completely open-source. WezTerm has an _enormous_ leg up over Ghostty in this regard IMO.

> Ghostty is still a private project. I plan to open source it one day and share it with more people but for now this is a private personal project.

Ghostty will be open source once it is stable enough.

I love Ghostty. On my old MacBook, it was by far the fastest terminal emulator (yes, I tried all of them, also WezTerm and Alacritty). Now on my new Mac it is still the most beautiful terminal emulator.

It feels like I've been waiting for an invite a long time now. I'm eager to try it out.

Then again, I should probably try WezTerm first.

Public beta is planned for this year.
