Developing WebAssembly Rust plugins for Zellij

on YouTube ↗53m

" summary

Shows a concrete WebAssembly plugin system for Zellij that replaces a PTY-backed pane with a WASI runtime running .wasm files, using Rust SDK plus protobuf-serialized state over stdin/stdout and a permissioned API. Demos include a fuzzy-finder monol plugin, a weather plugin that proxies web requests via the host, and UI widgets rendered through a private escape-code protocol. Explains layout serialization, multisession resurrection, and tradeoffs: single-threaded WASM and serialization overhead that is acceptable for terminal workloads.
