The paragraph on the website inviting us to switch to rmux from tmux claims that tmux is programmed in C++. tmux is made in C.
wupsy ! thanks, I just fixed it

#32Earlier quoted context omitted.
no skill file, you get the same 90 commands of tmux. and if you build a rust app you can have many more cool stuff like "wait for" some text to appear, asyncly
well it looks great so far but Its a no go for me for now until you have at least a cli that a coding harness can use to drive it. thats going to be the killer feature going forward for all these multiplexers. last week I vibecoded a plugin that lets me open a line specific input box that sends the context of my code along with my prompt into my opencode session running on a seperate pane. its a game changer when it…
ok will check it out then ! Thank you, putting it on my todo list

#33The website is a little too obviously made by Claude. The first thing I noticed is the classic "pill with pulsing green dot that says something is active or live" claudism.
Not to mention those absolutely horrible scroll animations.
you don't like parallax effects ? maybe I'm too 2010 for you

#34Hey, I automate tmux all the time with send keys and capture.. how is your project improves vs tmux or zellij?
rmux is much faster than tmux or zellj, I did some internal benchmark and it's promising. rmux is a multiplexer engine, meaning that you can rewrite entirely zellij using rmux.. I created a mini zellij in a few hundred lines of rust. You can check the demoes on the repo
But wait, I’m a user of tmux or zellij which for me was basically another tmux and I went back to tmux eventually. I’m not looking to develop another tmux or something. Is this project more of a library to create tmux like apps?

As of today you can replace tmux by rmux. Its behavior should be 1-1 iso; tmux is more stable though, it has been battle tested with a dozen of years of edge cases refinement. rmux is a faster and more elegant clone of tmux + windows support + programmable sdk

commonlisp (sbcl) is one of the best sleeper techs out there. one of those if you're in the know type industry secrets. part of it is because their website looks like something out of the 90's. clearly having a nice website and some level of marketing is necessary to get adoption. Im more than happy to see devs use AI to automate that so they have more time to focus on their creations.
Isn't lisp getting advertisement every couple months here or so. After so many decades I don't believe the reason lisp doesn't have traction is just marketing.

"site made by ai" is the new "bootstrap template" criticism that honestly gets tiring after a while. just read the content.

#391. ask Claude to rewrite X in Rust
2. ask Claude to make a website and claim R is better than X because it's Rust
3. advertise on HN, X and Reddit
4. ???
5. profit!
