| The amount of seggfaults I have seen with Ghostty did not raise my spirits. |

| I've had at least one instance of Ghostty running on both my work and personal machine continuously since I first got access to the beta last November, and I haven't seen a single segfault in that entire time. When have you seen them? |

| ▲ | metaltyphoon 3 days ago | parent | next [-] | | Look at the issue tracker and its history too. | |
| ▲ | dmit 3 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I've seen the amount of effort Mitchell &co put into ensuring memory safety of Ghostty in the 1.2 release notes, but after upgrading I am still afraid to open a new pane while there's streaming output in the current one because in 1.1.3 that meant a crash more often than not. | |

| ▲ | dpatterbee 3 days ago | parent [-] | | So Ghostty was first publicly released on I think December 27th last year, then 1.0.1, 1.1.0, 1.1.1, and 1.1.2 were released within the next month and a half to fix bugs found by the large influx of users, and there hasn't been a segfault reported since. I would recommend that users who are finding a large number of segfaults should probably report it to the maintainers. |

| Bun is much worse in this regard too. |
| |
| ▲ | johncolanduoni 3 days ago | parent [-] | | It makes me sad, because they demonstrated JavaScriptCore is shockingly better than V8 for node-likes. The Typescript compiler (which like basically any non-trivial typechecker is CPU bound) is consistently at least 2x faster with Bun on large projects I've worked on. | | |
| ▲ | pjmlp 3 days ago | parent [-] | | When Typescript finishes their Go rewrite that will become irrelevant, and I rather have the compiler from the same people that design the language. | | |
| ▲ | johncolanduoni 3 days ago | parent [-] | | For that example sure, and admittedly the entire JavaScript/TypeScript processing ecosystem is moving in that direction. But the TypeScript compiler is not the only CPU-bound JavaScript out there. | | |
| ▲ | pjmlp 3 days ago | parent [-] | | There are plenty of memory safe compiled languages to rewrite that JavaScript into. |

| segfaults raise my belief in spirits |
| |
| ▲ | greesil 3 days ago | parent [-] | | Possibly a good Halloween costume idea to go as a segfault. It would scare some people. |
