I have a few embedded devices where flash space is limited. tmux is so much smaller than zellij, and it's not even close.
Zellij is close to 50 megabytes, but tmux and all dependent libraries (minus libc, it's always there) is about 2 megabytes.
Screen is only 280Kb (armv7), statically compiled with curses. That's about 6-9 times smaller compared to tmux.

That's a Rust thing. It's what happens when you statically link because you monomorphise everything.
One of the reasons I went Zig for now
