Ghostty 1.4 is now out! Full Kitty graphics with animation (the first terminal besides Kitty to do it), scrollback compression for much lower memory usage, macOS 27 support, a new OpenGL renderer on Linux, ghostty +ssh, big performance gains, and hundreds more changes. The highlights: - Scrollback compression: scrollback compresses ~90+% on average, meaning your terminals use that much less live memory - Huge memory savings across the board: no single large thing, just lots of good improvements lowers memory usage everywhere, netting anywhere from 50 to 90% less memory usage depending on workload - Kitty graphics is now 100% complete, including animation and relative placements, after a full conformance pass against the spec and Kitty itself - The Kitty clipboard protocol, with an image preview when a program asks to read your clipboard - Split drag and drop on Linux, including between windows - ghostty +ssh installs terminfo on remote hosts automatically, so things just work over SSH - Lots of terminal emulation accuracy fixes This release is 7 months of work from 172 contributors over 2,889 commits. It also fixes 10 security advisories, so please update. Full release notes: ghostty.org/docs/install/rel…

Caring is the moat, you should feel visceral pain when things are bad or broken and stop at nothing to fix them

AI Engineer was sick! Our booth has never been more packed with merch, which brings me immense joy! Sore and drained from traveling and talking over the expo floor, but always worth it. ❤️
AI Engineer New York was a blast! Loved all the fun chats and the chance to demo and discuss Delta in person. See you next time, @aiDotEngineer!

Developers built Google Docs and Figma so others wouldn't lose work, then ironically kept using decades-old tools that let us lose our own. @conradirwin explains how DeltaDB uses CRDTs to sync every keystroke so no work is lost. delta.dev/blog/future-of-ver…

Straight up Mitch Hedberg style...
Delta and Zed are now written in Rust. They used to be, too, but they still are.

.@RobinhoodApp - I want a setting option to automatically sweep my gold card points into my brokerage. I don't want to do this manually for the rest of my life. Please give it to me!

You already offer auto-redemption towards statement credit and giveaways, just add another for sweeping to brokerage!

Not a fork, btw…
A single setting removes every AI-related feature in Zed. Not a VS Code fork, btw...

Exciting moment for us at Zed Industries. Everyone can now download and give Delta a spin! Let us know how it feels.
Delta is now in public beta. It’s a multiplayer environment for coding with agents and reviewing what they build, with every code change linked to the conversation that produced it. Anyone can download it today on macOS, Linux, and Windows: delta.dev/download

A few blips from the sponsor demo I did at @rustconf 2026 covering Delta (@zeddotdev).

I really want a shell that’s using Python syntax, with structured output. A cross between Nushell and Xonsh. A python REPL that auto-imports all the commands (just python functions) a shell could need.

I imagine there being syntax sugar, where you just omit the `()`, so `ls` would desugar to `ls()`, if it was a standalone statement. You might still want to store that function object in a variable so that syntactic sugar wouldn't apply to assignments.

I just really like the idea of not having to have another language in my head in the terminal, and having structured output.
