#2I'm not sure I could untrain all my muscle memory I've built up over the years with my TMUX configuration, but I truly believe in the next 10 years all of my current command line tools will be slowly replaced with rust equivalents (with the exception of neovim). ripgrep and fzf are already a large part of my workflow, and I love seeing WebAssembly becoming the universal plug and play standard.

That's the future feature I'm most interested in over TMUX.

#4The idea of using WebAssembly for their plugins is really impressive (they are using Wasmer!). It allows to have fully sandboxed code that interact with their code safely and fast.
I think more projects will start following the same direction soon!

#5What's the point of fitting multiple terminals in a single text-mode screen when everybody is using GUI terminal emulators and tiling window managers?
I remember good old pure text-mode days with warmth but doubt there are many people actually doing it nowadays. So I imagine this (thesubject) is going to be ran inside a GUI terminal emulator window and I don't understand how is that better than just having more windows.

You could quite easily configure Zellij's keybindings [0] to mirror your tmux config.

#7You have a problem and you need a configuration language, so you pick YAML. Now you have two problems.
Take a leaf out of Rust's book and use something simple and sane like TOML, YAML is a mess.
See: https://github.com/cblp/yaml-sucks
Otherwise this looks like a great project, please don't ruin it with YAML.

I'm a heavy terminal user, and I cannot understand how people use something like tmux that constantly causes full screen refreshes and hangs due to one part misbehaving.

Remote sessions. Unless you want to use X forwarding, or create multiple SSH sessions, it's way more ergonomic to do it this way. I currently use tmux for this and when you combine it w/ the tmux command mode (-CC) and iTerm 2 you get the best of both worlds, but even without iTerm 2 integration I still prefer panes to be handled by the multiplexer because then I know I can get my consistent and comfortable environment on any arbitrary remote box.

That's great! As soon as it supports detaching a running session I'll take a look at migrating.
