Ghostty 1.0: The Terminal That Finally Doesn't Suck
Ghostty 1.0 is out — a fast terminal with native UI and Vim-like keybindings.
Developers, admit it: how many times have you switched terminals looking for the perfect one? iTerm2 is bloated, Alacritty is boring, and Kitty… well, it's a cat. Meet Ghostty 1.0 — a terminal that promises to be fast, pretty, and get out of your way.
Under the hood
Ghostty is written in Zig and uses its own rendering engine, giving ultra-low latency and GPU acceleration. Out of the box: smooth scrolling, font ligatures, and split panes without lag. Configuration via a config file (yes, like Vim), not through menus.
Killer feature — native OS notification support and tmux integration. Ghostty doesn't try to be an IDE — it just does its job cleanly.
METABYTE studio's comment: A fast and customizable terminal is a must for any developer. Whether you're writing backend code or managing servers, Ghostty will save you hours of frustration. And we can help set up the whole infrastructure to make your code fly.
