this is our first time using the Rust smol library, which seems quite nice. pleasingly, there isn't some big war between the authors of different rust async runtimes; rather, roughly the same group of authors wrote first tokio, then async-std, then most recently smol. this last one refactors the whole thing into a bunch of tiny, loosely-coupled libraries; smol itself is just a shorthand to import a few of those libraries at once. so that's pretty neat.

thus far we have two direct dependencies and 35 transitive ones, which we're pretty pleased with, that seems nice and small to us

we have partially-implemented versions of the hjkl commands pushed, now. it's time to add an abstraction we've been really looking forward to, a helper that handles movement commands...

so in case you're keeping track of how long a project of ours can exist before we feel the need to use async closures, the answer is about three hours, 40 minutes
