Ghostty Is Native—So What? | g.p. anders

Ghostty is a new terminal emulator by Mitchell Hashimoto. While a lot has been said about Ghostty’s performance, less discussed is its native platform1 integration which is, in my opinion, its most distinctive and underrated feature. Despite being listed as a key motivating factor in Mitchell’s original introduction, online discussions about Ghostty rarely mention its native integration, and when they do many commenters remain skeptical over its importance or don’t understand what that means.
