I just ported tmux to Fil-C in less than an hour (that included porting libevent and gettings its test suite to pass).

Works great and it's totally memory safe



Would you mind porting graphviz to Fil-C ?

It's probably foolish, but I have the idée fixe that there's really no solid alternative for graphviz and dot (yes, there are UI versions, and mermaid and whatnot, but nothing that works on really big graphs and has the same expressivity), and I suspect that soon all the people that wrote graphviz will die off or retire. I like to see a port to a newer language as well, so ongoing maintenance will bercome easier.

Again, probably an idée fixe, and all is really well.

Try to port it. Maybe it'll just work


haha yes


Did you experience a noticable performance degradation?


Not in tmux
