@ThePrimeagen Its the $500k engineer spending his $250k tokens
English

I have reviewed the language and really tried to understand this, but I really do not understand this language's purpose other than engineers with too much free time, free tokens, and a marketing budget.
I was very excited to read about a language is "agent's first." Its just zig with a touch of java and rust...

Introducing Zero The programming language for agents. I wanted a systems language that was faster, smaller, and easier for agents to use and repair. Explicit capabilities. JSON diagnostics. Typed safe fixes. Made for agents on day zero.

so I did. used it as an excuse to finally try odin. 30 fps on the pi, 3 MB binary, 6 MB resident. (the python daemon next to it: 250 MB.)
also working on a go rewrite of that daemon, and a fork of reachy-conv that does the s2s loop offline.

turns out nobody's built on-device face tracking for the reachy mini wireless yet. the official greetings demo says "Reachy Mini Lite for now" and offloads to mediapipe on a laptop wired to the robot...

@_GauravGosain @pollenrobotics @huggingface it's all fun and games until you have to map the kinematics for those 6 arms

@mitchellh @ellie_huxtable terrible name ik, tuios is my terminal multiplexer :)

@ellie_huxtable It’s good. But why do you like it? Can you share your setup? I’m working on a new multiplexer and I’m very much into “market research” 😈

@meowgorithm I try to make a conscious decision to code by hand (even if its something very small and meaningless) everyday. It’s therapeutic honestly

I'm writing Go again (for what, you'll see later...). `go doc` and `gopls` are like agent superpowers and its shocking how productive agents are out of the box at writing [good] Go code versus other languages I've used (including the JS ecosystem). Also, Go + Zig is a good mix.
Go for the higher level and concurrent stuff and then no-libc Zig code plus the Zig compiler for zero dependency cross-compiled cgo with high-performance characteristics (minimize cgo boundary crosses). Chefs kiss.
Its funny because a lot of the shitty ergonomics of Go CLIs like `go doc` and `gopls` (prev. stuff like `go oracle` or `guru`) are totally obviated by agents and not just that but in a twist of irony they're excellent for agents.
Don't worry, its not Ghostty. Ghostty and libghostty will remain pure Zig; it's a fantastic fit and a perfect pairing. This is for something else.
"Wait, I thought you said Go has no place anymore?" I was wrong, mostly because agents are so productive at Go. I won't bring in other languages in this discussion because I don't want to feed the crabs, so to speak. lol.

Oh this is awesome, time to do some tests with libghostty & tuios 👀
Mitchell Hashimoto@mitchellh
I shook off some of the dust and wrote Go for the first time in 3 years and built some libghostty bindings for Go. Its cgo but since libghostty can be fully static and only depends on libc, mixing cgo + Zig as the C compiler lets you cross compile easily. github.com/mitchellh/go-l…

@raphamorims yooo thats so cool!! Are you using sixel for the images? 👀
English

@ThePrimeagen tuios.gaurav.zip a terminal multiplexer I built from scratch with mouse support and images in terminals that support the kitty graphics protocol. Still cooking it… but am happy with how far I got!
English

@itsnoahd @mitchellh @samlambert It has been a thing for a while, the kitty graphics protocol is amazing, sixel is fine too…
English


@mitchellh @samlambert what a coincidence that I was working on something similar yesterday! Google meet style video calls over ssh in ghostty anyone? (calling it meetty 🥸). Just a proof of concept right now, but already managed to get audio, webcam and screen sharing working!
