Libghostty 1.0 - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50399933

Maybe not unavoidable product, but zig has a vision, do not need to go different direction or make product immediately or die

It's flagged by major antivirus vendors, like Sentinel One.

I build based on libghostty, but with Typescript and Golang. I read this article precisely because I was worried about the future of Zig, despite not programming in it directly.

Thankful for the Hashimoto support of both organizations' financial sources: Zig Software Foundation and Ghostty via Hack Club. Thus both projects have external accountability. Hopefully that can help long term viability issues and alleviate the projects' social and financial pressures, as well as guide the projects technological and management choices. If that scaffolding didn't exist, I might not have chosen the platform.

The UNIX world is full of terminals, though.
