Am I missing something? The LGPL only applies to the library itself--you can dynamically link to it from proprietary code. So in this hypothetical scenario, someone could just write a terminal emulator (or IDE, or what have you) that dynamically links to libghostty and put as much telemetry in it as they wanted, couldn't they?
>> Am I missing something? No, you're not but I did! So GPL then. Maybe I just wanted to make up a scenario. I'm not sure why MIT/BSD have become so popular, they have their place but I don't think they have any place in software infrastructure.

Because maintaining is not as fun as starting? Because other people can maintain a well structured project but not as many people can start something from scratch? Because his skills can be better used elsewhere?

That sounds like the Google philosophy though, where smart people come up with ideas and write the initial implementation (then get promoted) and other less smart people take over, and you end up with a mess that had great potential like Bazel?
I love how this guy founds + takes public + sells a multibillion company and then just goes right back to hacking. Legend.
Hashimoto is an absolute wizard, but what I find most compelling about him is his absolutely uncanny ability to segment and abstract systems and interfaces in a way for maximum composability and minimal entanglement. He's like the walking embodiment of Rich Hickey's Simple Made Easy philosophy. It's like he designs software systems in such a way that they have no choice but to operate correctly and predictably. Also…

How is this not driving things forward? It's the best terminal emulator I've ever used.
The person you replied to agreed, but the maintenance could be done by other people while Hashimoto could continue to improve other technologies.

It's fast. Like, faster than your brain expects it to be. I live in vim and after about 30 seconds of checking ghostty out I switched from iTerm2 to ghostty for good. No regerts.
I use terminology today, which is also "fast." The major issue I run into with ghostty vs terminology is that ssh in ghostty is broken due to the terminfo thing. I don't fully understand why ghostty can't pretend to be a different terminal that remotes know about (for now), but I assume there's some reason.
I use ghostty on (my?) air mac that my brother gifted to me which was his previous device for coding / general purpose etc. Ghostty is really good and I genuinely appreciate this. Honestly, Might seem like a small thing but the fact that this doesn't even depend on libc seems to be a really great thing to me and I kinda cherish it! Thanks! Have a nice day!
I really want to like Ghostty but: - Still no ⌘F for find. - No way (that I know of) to select previous output or specific string and copy with only keyboard shortcuts. - No ⌘. sending CTRL-C (muscle memory and being advertised as native to the Mac is what one would expect). - Fonts still don't render as nicely as in Terminal.app. I've fiddled with `font-thicken-strength` and it's close, but not quite. Probably impos…
