alt Hacker NewsI have a few embedded devices where flash space is limited. tmux is so much smaller than zellij, and it's not even close.
Zellij is close to 50 megabytes, but tmux and all dependent libraries (minus libc, it's always there) is about 2 megabytes.

That's a Rust thing. It's what happens when you statically link because you monomorphise everything.

and this is a great example why rust will never be relevant in embedded development that actually matters

Screen is only 280Kb (armv7), statically compiled with curses. That's about 6-9 times smaller compared to tmux.
