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 not exactly a stupid thought. My immediate reaction was: 1) 25% more LOC, 2) in unsafe Rust, 3) for a tool that already has great maintainence.

The only reason this is at the top of HN is because of where Rust is on the Gartner Hype Cycle right now.

It's neat, but I wouldn't say useful.
