I've recently experienced OOM on a machine that has only 8 gigabytes and which I don't have bigger RAM modules for: iamb — TUI Matrix client in Rust uses ratatui, probably improperly, as it visibly redraws the whole UI on each cycle. It's not too annoying, but as it turns out, when the window isn't visible, it makes Alacritty (also in Rust) go haywire — it looks like it makes the scrollback buffer grow indefinitely. It got killed when it started chawing into swap noticeably 😂
Wasn't Rust supposed to eliminate precisely such issues? 🤔
