Introducing tmux-rs

I like the initiative, but all this effort for ... unsafe Rust? I know it's a hot topic, and I hope the end goal is to have a memory-safe (and faster) tmux. I just hope the author doesn't stop here :)

Edit: As pointed out below, I'm stupid, it's stated in the article and I didn't read that part

It's the first step in a two-step process:

    1. Rewrite in (unsafe) Rust.
    2. Update the code over time, moving towards safe Rust.

It's the old, "get it working then fix it" process. In business that's normally a bad idea because you end up wasting more time than if you'd just done things correctly from the start but for a hobby project it's fine. Because then you're more likely to learn something and possibly—ultimately—end up with a better end product.

To a business, time your developers spend learning things (the hard way) is wasted.

To a hobbyist, taking the time to learn things is time well-spent.
