Is it a GUI? Is it a TUI?
It's not clear
1/2 Here's DVUI, an immediate mode GUI written in Zig, running in Ghostty at ~60 fps via the Kitty graphics protocol:

A large part of the reason, one assumes, for Windows COM.
COM could interop with C++ natively since the object dispatch table was just a vtable. Heck, the Win95 shell was written in C, not C++.
Tying yourself to language rarely works... though you'd think these days C++ would be a safe bet!

As far as I can tell one of the big BeOS mistakes was having its API defined in C++. Makes compiler updates harder than they should be, especially as C++ ABIs were far less stable back then

@HuntBenjamin99 @app_settings Good memories - that was a great OSX release

@app_settings My copy of Snow Leopard got lost in the mail in 2009 so I went to the UPS facility an hour away and after helping the employees search for a bit we found it. Whole situation would never happen today lol

if Apple still sold physical copies of macOS (concept by me)

Ghostty is leaving GitHub. I'm GitHub user 1299, joined Feb 2008. I've visited GitHub almost every single day for over 18 years. It's never been a question for me where I'd put my projects: always GitHub. I'm super sad to say this, but its time to go. mitchellh.com/writing/ghostt…

Two balls rolling down two slopes.
While the indirect path proves faster at first, the direct path wins in the end.

@raysan5 Raylib is part of pipeline for the GUI-in-terminal demo below. It currently uses a hidden window + texture-to-png-to-kitty graphics. I think the software renderer option is interesting for rendering on any server/device and then shipping the gui over ssh.

@mitchellh @CodexHere Sorry for the newbie question but how do you use fzf to search the terminal? Do you dump it somewhere?

Well, it has happened. Ghostty on macOS now has search. This is now in tip releases, I'm certain there's a bunch of polish and bugs to work through over the next months, but more than enough time for it to be rock solid for 1.3 next year. GTK to follow soon. Gobble, gobble. 🦃🦃

Excited to announce that TigerBeetle and @synadia have pledged $512,000 to the Zig Software Foundation.

I did a comparison of Posit32 vs Float32 numbers. Posit gives such better precision for the same bit size, but is 1.7x slower (I compared software implementations).

@tomjaguarpaw @mitchellh It uses the Kitty graphics protocol, specifically direct mode (base64 encoded pixel data)
Modern computers, and Ghostty's rendering pipeline, has plenty of juice to run it smoothly.

A Ghostty beta member asked "can Ghostty run DOOM?" today and then a couple hours later said "yes it can" and sent me the code. It is buttery smooth! DOOM really does run everywhere.
