+# Ghost in the Shell: a libghostty powered terminal for Emacs
+Daniel Kraus (he/him) - IRC: dakra, @dakra@fosstodon.org, <mailto:daniel@kraus.my>
+
+[[!inline pages="internal(2026/info/ghostel-before)" raw="yes"]]
+
+Ghostel is a terminal emulator built on libghostty-vt, the VT engine behind the Ghostty terminal.
+
+This talk gives an overview of the features Ghostel and its extensions provide.
+I briefly cover what Emacs offers out of the box (term, shell) and the existing alternatives (vterm, eat),
+and explain why a new terminal emulator for Emacs is still needed.
+
+Most of the talk is demos.
+Some show what the libghostty engine makes possible, others what Emacs Lisp integration
+makes possible. An external terminal can give you the first but not the second.
+The terminals inside Emacs give you the second but not the first.
+Ghostel is the only one where you get both in the same buffer.
+
+To try it yourself you can install Ghostel from melpa or from
+GitHub: <https://github.com/dakra/ghostel>
+
+About the speaker:
+
+Daniel Kraus discovered Emacs over 25 years ago and is the author of numerous Emacs
+packages and other free software. Professionally he works with Python, Java and
+TypeScript, but privately he favors Lisps, mainly Clojure and Elisp.
+
+In this talk he introduces Ghostel, a terminal emulator for Emacs built on the VT engine
+from Ghostty, and demos what it makes possible that no other terminal can.
