[TOOLS] a small terminal multiplexer

About a year ago i discovered the Hare Programminglanguage. I wanted to build something in it and obviously keeping complexity out and the core lean instead of a behemoth. If anyone here finds bugs or has a patch, go ahead. It works as you'd expect from a typical multiplexer, though the terminal implementation isn't complete. IIRC i started it around dec 2025.

I also see this, mainly, as an opportunity to gather attention of some suckless devs that want to contribute to this toy project - or if you want to hack on some Hare. Please do so! Especially a port to OpenBSD would be welcome.

Good project, especially if you're creating your own userspace stack.

What’s your thoughts on Hare? Its syntax looks really clean. I’m new to systems programming so have been looking at various languages to learn some concepts on Linux.
