I've learning more about Zellij, and it increasingly feels like a nice tiling window manager for working in terminals. My mental model for tmux and screen was that their main focus was persistence (detach/attach between SSH sessions). Zellij seems to focus on layout.

Playing with Zellij this week (a terminal multiplexer like screen/tmux) and it's worked great so far. It's nice having many short-lived, named terminal sessions on a remote machine. Normally I'd have multiple iTerm windows, but they end up with huge histories.

Today I learnt about clippy::clone_on_ref_ptr, which complains about t.clone() on a Rc<Thing>. You write Rc::clone(t) instead, so it's obvious it's a cheap clone. It's a nice approach, because it makes the expensive clones more obvious.
