Next Meeting – Tuesday, September 8, 2026, 6:30pm EDT.
The Main presentation:
ztmux is the world’s first 100%-functional tmux in Rust — a from-source port of the whole program (server + client), not a wrapper or control-mode client: the grid/screen model, the VT input parser, layouts, the command language, formats, and the terminal back end, reimplemented in memory-safe Rust and diffed byte-for-byte against the upstream tmux C source of truth — 1107/1107 parity cases passing. MIT-licensed.
zvcs, A git superset for high-velocity, automated version-control workflows over deep submodule trees — concurrent, lock-free operations that eliminate the index-lock contention git hits under many parallel writers. Built for fleets of automated agents committing across a meta-repo of nested submodules. Free and open source.
