Libghostty progress in the past 6 months. It's amazing that NOTHING IN THIS LIST was true 6 months ago, and now its ALL VERY REAL. I remember bringing up the idea of libghostty 4 years ago and most people saying "but why." I did it anyways. And here we are!
Text reproduced in case its easier to read this way:
As a reminder, libghostty is the highly portable, embeddable library that provides core terminal emulation, render state, and more. I always felt that a free, high qualty, lightweight, reusable terminal emulation core would benefit the developer world more than any single GUI application. And that is playing out!
It is and always was my true purpose with the Ghostty project (I said this in my first ever talk about Ghostty!). I've jokingly said many times that Ghostty GUI is just a glorified tech demo for libghostty. That's not fair though, because GUI is great and there are really talented people working on it.
Since I started the project, Ghostty has always gotten people saying "I don't understand why you'd start a terminal emulator today." Well, the answer is libghostty. It's truly unique and its enabling something special (imo!).
Highlights of libghostty since 6 months ago (none of the below was true 6 months ago):
- Libghostty has nearly 100% coverage of all of Ghostty's core (and you can compile with flags to remove any of these features for size/safety): libghostty.tip.ghostty.org/
- Libghostty now builds and is tested (in CI) for: Apple (macOS, iOS, visionOS), Windows (MSVC and GNU), Linux, FreeBSD, Android, WebAssembly, and freestanding (i.e. direct on hardware with no OS).
- Libghostty has bindings in pretty much every popular programming language: C, Zig, Go, Swift, Python, Rust, .NET, etc.
- Libghostty's memory requirements have dramatically shrunk to enable the portability above. There's still work to do but a single empty terminal now takes 90% less memory. And at scale I've proven 10,000 active (input/output happening) terminals on a Linux server with 4 cores and 8 GB of RAM.
- Libghostty powers all JetBrains IDE terminals, over 12.5 million active users. blog.jetbrains.com/platform/…...
- Libghostty is the most popular core behind the wave of venture-backed "agentic" terminals and editors, such as Herdr, cmux, and many others.
- Libghostty is being discussed and has been verbally accepted to replace the terminal core in Neovim: github.com/neovim/neovim/pul… (work still to be done)
- Libghostty powers a really popular and powerful terminal emulator for emacs (Ghostel): github.com/dakra/ghostel
- Libghostty's speed is used by Antithesis to fuzz popular terminal programs and has directly led to hundreds of bug fixes sent upstream to programs such as tmux, btop, shells, and other terminal emulators. :)
- And so much more: github.com/Uzaaft/awesome-li…
Libghostty is really successfully turning into the tide that raises all boats. As it becomes more popular, Ghostty itself gets more performant and stable, and so does everyone else. It is also a vehicle for delivering modern terminal emulation to the widest source possible.
I plan on tagging libghostty 1.0 in the next few months and declaring ABI stability at that point!
It actually blows my mind that the legal process can drag an abuse victim for years on end. Like, what are you going to find after four years?!
UPDATE!
Bardstown cop's wife is still behind bars.
She has NOT bonded out.
Lauren Winans, 31, is charged with 2 counts of 1st degree sodomy, 1st degree incest, and 1st degree sexual abause.
The alleged victim is a family member under the age of 12.
Her arraignment is scheduled for Nov 5.
Her husband, Andy Winans, is a Bardstown police officer, and former Nelson County deputy.
But there's more. Of course.
Updated photos circulating online show the couple posing on a Nelson County Sheriff's vehicle with blue lights on.
The sheriff's office called the conduct "completely inappropriate" and says Andy Winans was disciplined at the time.
He resigned from the Nelson County Sheriff's department in early 2026 and Bardstown PD hasn't commented.

I think the one thing that people often miss about this is that unless you have a tyrannical legal and social framework backing you up, tolerance of other groups can only come when we’re allowed a healthy criticism of those groups.
Thank God for tradition.
How should Christians approach Halloween?
Christians tend to fall into four different camps when it comes to participating in Halloween:
- Total abstinence
- Full participation
- Partial participation
- Redemptive participation
Some abstain from Halloween altogether. Others fully participate in the festivities, while some enjoy the family fun without participating in the glorification of evil.
I believe the better alternative is redemptive participation.
My mom has set this example for me for years. She uses Halloween as an opportunity to share the gospel by attaching Bible verses to candy, making Scripture signs for her front lawn, and sharing the love of Jesus with the families who come to her door.
As she says, “What other time of year do you have people coming to your home and asking you for something? This is like the easiest evangelism opportunity possible.”
A night associated with darkness can actually be an opportunity to shine the light of Christ.
It’s be not afraid of evil, not you’re wrong to be afraid, or in other words be brave.
Also, my sister in Christ, the angles say be not afraid because they have a terrifying presence.

It’s kind of wild how you can have all the right takes on acid compliance and scaling by orders of magnitude and still fail an interview.
Software/hardware engineering scales. Infrastructure engineering doesn’t, at least in its modern iteration.
You know it's indefensible because he didn't provide a reason for doing it.

This reminds me of how people viewed computers in the 90s. A lot of special effects, but nothing is going on.
It is becoming f*cking dangerous
A 23-year-old dev from China just ran 300 Claude Code agents in parallel and hooked them to a verification layer so none of them could bullshit him
He opens the live dashboard:
- 300 agents writing and checking at the same time
- Every output verified against the source in ~100 ms
- Three passes over 100 company profiles → zero errors left
- Everything dumped straight into an Obsidian vault
The trick is the split: one model does the work, a cheaper one decides if the claim is actually true. The loop doesn’t stop until everything checks out
An analyst team would bill weeks for this. He got it in one run
Same kind of Second Brain + swarm setup that keeps circulating. Bookmark the full breakdown
I like him, but it’s probably a good thing

I normally listen to electronic music with few or repeating lyrics when needing to focus, but I've found that a looping Gregorian chant also does the trick! open.spotify.com/track/0xUL1…

Meanwhile in China, foreigners need to earn 6 times the local average social wage to qualify for a work permit and a work visa.
I used to think that this site promoted avarice via vanity. Now I just think it promotes vanity.
I think I was just better at curating my content before this, so that I was just engaging in small accounts for conversation. It’s a bit of an eye opening moment.
