I was stating facts. It is a c2rust project. I do not care about some image they used. I want to see results. For now, it is definitely a c2rust project. It is not a good look on the community that comments that quote this get flagged: > https://github.com/richardscollin/tmux-rs/issues/9 > 120 comments and nobody has mentioned the use-after-free triggered by closing a window. Rust truly is the safest language. Whatever floats your (or their) boat though. If you have anything against the quote, engage instead of down-voting, or am I expecting much? And for what it is worth, let me quote the article: > For the 6 months or so I’ve been quietly porting tmux from C to Rust. I’ve recently reached a big milestone: the code base is now 100% (unsafe) Rust. I’d like to share the process of porting the original codebase from ~67,000 lines of C code
Read the rest
to ~81,000 lines of Rust (excluding comments and empty lines). You might be asking: why did you rewrite tmux in Rust? And yeah, I don’t really have a good reason. It’s a hobby project. Like gardening, but with more segfaults. Don't you think this is slightly amusing? :D I cannot tell if this is satire or not, by the way. 6 months!
