What exactly is it about ghostty that has people excited about it?
- Is the ghoshtty terminal worth the hype? by Typecraft (one of the closed beta user).
- One of the closed beta tester posted about the terminal here
  
  Ghost in the terminal
- For me, I am always excited about new things.
  
  AFAIK, this is the first terminal written in zig and the author is famous.
  
  There is #showcase channel on its discord server. One of those is Ghostty vs iTerm2 resizing by dragging and the former is “butter smooth” according to the poster.
  
  I am waiting for the release.
